PLEASANTVILLE, N.J. - Scores of marchers called for an end to gun violence as they gathered over the weekend at the football field where a 10-year-old boy was slain and two other people were wounded during a state playoff game earlier this month.

Gunfire erupted in the stands of a Nov. 15 playoff game between the Camden Panthers and the Pleasantville Greyhounds.

Fifth-grader Micah Tennant was shot in the neck and died Wednesday.

A 15-year-old boy who was also injured was treated for a graze wound.

Six men were charged in connection with the shooting, including the alleged gunman and one of the three people shot in what authorities said was the result of “petty vengeance.”
