A teen-on-teen shooting outside a Deerfield Beach High School spring football game Thursday night led to a second revenge shooting by the victim's father, police said.
The first gunshots rang out shortly before 10 p.m., just two blocks from the school on the 900 block of Southwest 15th Street. The shooter, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office was 16-year-old Carlos Young.
"I was standing outside, there was a Deerfield High spring game against Monarch High School and after the football game I see a lot of kids walking down the street and I just heard gunshots," said Kendrick Williams, who lives in the area.
Young and friend Tyrail Brantley, 16, fled the scene of the shooting.
The victim, 15-year-old Justin Perry, was airlifted to Broward General Medical Center, where his condition is unknown.
But the gunfire didn't end there.
According to police, about a half hour after Perry was shot, his father, Willie Perry, 32, went out looking for revenge and ended up opening fire on Brantley.

Perry fled the scene but was later arrested when he went to visit his son in the hospital. Young is also in custody.
Brantley was also taken to a hospital, and his condition is also unknown.
Perry is a student at Deerfield Beach Middle School, the same school once attended by teen attack victims Josie Lou Ratley and Michael Brewer.
