 Seaford, Del.<\/strong> \u2014 A 32-year-old man was killed in a shooting Tuesday evening near a local park in Seaford, marking the second deadly incident near a youth baseball field in less than a month, authorities said. Delaware State Police said the shooting happened in the vicinity of Williams Pond Park while youth baseball teams were preparing for practice. The gunfire prompted an immediate cancellation of activities and evacuation of the ballfield. It was the second time in several weeks that violence near the park disrupted baseball events.
The previous fatal shooting occurred March 12 at nearby Nutter Park and Collins Avenue, where a 23-year-old man was shot and killed. Youth league officials said the organization had a safety plan in place in the event of a violent incident, and coaches acted quickly to ensure players and families were safely evacuated from the field. They said repeated disruptions due to gun violence are taking a toll on the children, who are there to learn teamwork and enjoy the game. Officials expressed frustration with the ongoing safety concerns affecting youth sports. There have been no arrests in connection with Sunday\u2019s shooting as of Monday. Authorities are continuing their investigation and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
