Father Details His Eye-Opening Experience With Crazed Gunman at Daughter’s Soccer Game

Linkedin Share

Could you imagine finding yourself at a mall or concert or school or daughter’s soccer practice when a deranged maniac begins opening fire? Could there be anything more terrifying than not knowing exactly what is going on, or the exact whereabouts of the shooter?

Talk about a horror story. That’s what happened to a California father. He lived to see another day, but you’d have to think it left him pretty shaken – and rightfully so. Sounds freaky just picturing it.

Here’s Craig Cecilio‘s story…

They finally started handing out awards and my daughter is second to last in line. One more player to go and I am out of here. Then it happened. All of a sudden everyone starts running. Its a stampede! What is going on? I try talking to a parent and her words come out jumbled. She is frantic and screaming. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. Then I hear the word…. SHOOTER!!! I slowly start surveying the large soccer fields but don’t see or hear anything. It feels like time is standing still for me. I stay calm as I survey the landscape.

Then I hear a voice—as if I have Kal-El (Superman) hearing. It’s my daughter’s voice crying out of the crowd! I shout out to tell her that I am here and to start moving towards the car. I am still surveying the landscape and don’t see anyone or hear anything. I start heading to find my daughter. My gut tells me it is not an automatic rifle. I don’t know why but that is what I am thinking.

My daughter is freaking out as we jog to the car. I notice she is running really fast. She is definitely worried. We get to the car, get in, and she immediately ducks. I said, “don’t worry, Dad is here to protect you and we have a good car to get out of here.” It is 4-wheel drive and we are on a dirt track. Naturally, I punch it and we bolted out of there!

Five minutes after we left the area, my daughter receives a text from one of her teammates. As it turns out, two parents got into an argument and one pulled a gun on the other. Damn. C’mon, soccer Dads! They take this way too seriously. Thank God no one was harmed.
