Authorities said multiple people were shot Friday evening, as local crowds in Massachusetts celebrated the results of a FIFA World Cup match.
The Brockton Police Department said at least four people sustained gunshot wounds and were sent to the hospital. The incident in the Main Street area appeared to occur as large groups of locals were celebrating Cape Verde’s advancement in the tournament that evening, when the small African nation drew 0-0 with Saudi Arabia. Brockton is home to the biggest Cape Verdean population in the United States.
