An act of violence occurred outside the stadium at the football game between Central Catholic and Whitmer on 10/7. Three people were shot, including two adults and one Whitmer student, all of whom were transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. No guests were injured in the evacuation and we could not be prouder of our students, staff, Whitmer fans, and guests from Central Catholic.
The Whitmer Athletic policy of wanding and screening all guests was enforced and the WLS pre-established safety plan was initiated immediately.
We will update our community as further information becomes available.
