Police search for shooter who injured 2 at crowded park during graduation
Police say surveillance cameras captured an incident where two people were shot near a Forest Park soccer field where kids were about to practice.
Investigators hope those at Kiwanis Park cameras will lead them to the gunmen.
It's amazing more people didn't get hurt, with a soccer practice and a Tee-ball game going on nearby, as well as a graduation at Kiwanis Stadium.
Channel 2's Tom Jones was at the park Wednesday as officers came back out to the scene where two people were shot near this soccer field.

They brought out K-9s to sniff for evidence.
Parent Juan Pargo told Channel 2 a day earlier he had just dropped his kids off at soccer practice.
'I hear about six or seven shots going,' he said.
The gunfire sent everyone scrambling for cover, including Pargo.
'Of course I ducked down inside my truck,' he said.
Police say a 40-year-old man and a victim 18 years old were hit but survived.
The 2 shooters got away.
Councilwoman Latresa Akins-Wells came right after the shooting.
'For this to happen in our community is very unfortunate,' she said.
Police say they don't know what sparked the shooting.
But officers say this city surveillance camera captured what happened.
'So if you got away last night, you won't get away for long,' Akins-Wells said.
One of the victims was grazed by a bullet, the other shot in the arm.
Police are asking anyone with information about this shooting to contact them.
Wells also wants those bent on causing mayhem in Forest Park to know police will hunt you down.
'If you want to commit a crime, go elsewhere,' she said.
