The Gulf Shores Police Department is investigating a possible assault that happened inside the high school football team's locker room. Police Chief Edward Delmore stopped short of calling the incident hazing but says the physical altercation was serious enough to get his attention and launch a police investigation.
Delmore says a 14-year old freshmen football player was involved in a physical altercation or incident after practice Wednesday. The incident happened in the locker room/shower area. Sources close to News 5 say the incident was violent enough to send the boy to the hospital.
Criminal charges and disciplinary action by the school system are possible.
The police department could released more information at a Friday news conference.
