Time to Reevaluate Sports Stadium Security

In spite of heightened security due to a terror threat on the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, a South Carolina man was apparently able to sneak a stun gun into a professional football game in New Jersey and fired it into the crowd, police said. The 59-year-old allegedly used the stun gun on three men in an upperdeck scuffle at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey during a National Football League game between the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys September 11, according to a New Jersey police official. The three men suffered minor injuries, he said. The suspect was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, possession of a stun gun, and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes. He was taken to the Bergen County Jail and later released on $22,500 bail. The chief executive of MetLife Stadium said the stun gun involved in the incident was the size of a small cell phone.
