iStock/JOE CICAKPLANO, Texas - A Dallas area high school has canceled its game next month against an El Paso area high school over safety concerns in the wake of the shooting at an El Paso Walmart.
The Plano Independent School District announced the cancellation of the second annual out-of -district matchup between Plano Senior High School and Eastwood High School in a Thursday news release.
On August 3, a 21-year-old man is suspected to have walked into an El Paso Walmart armed.
The game was set to take place September 6 at Plano Senior High School, near Dallas.
"Our entire school community felt strongly about showing love and support for the people of El Paso, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue that outreach," Plano Senior High School Principal Sarah Watkins said.
