No one in the stadium was wounded, however, two adults were found injured in the parking lot, according to San Jose police.
Both were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Spectator Penelope Correa told KPIX: “All of a sudden you heard five shots at least and everyone didn’t really know what it was at first and then all the students scattered away and started running.
“I didn’t know where my parents were.”
Cops said the motive for the shooting remains unknown. No arrests have yet been reported.
Witness Mike Johnson said he noticed fans begin running towards the end zone before hearing multiple gunshots.
The game was stopped with around two minutes left to go but was later resumed, school officials said.
