Officials: Atlantic City Man Pleads Guilty In Connection To Shooting At High School Football Game That Led To Death Of 10-Year-Old Michah Tennant

MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) - A man charged in connection with a shooting at a high school football playoff game last year that led to the death of a 10-year-old spectator has pleaded guilty to a weapons count. Tyrell Dorn entered his plea Monday, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

They will recommend the 28-year-old Atlantic City man receive a seven-year state prison term when he's sentenced later this year.

The shooting happened in the stands of a Nov. 15 playoff game and left a man and two children wounded.

One of the youths, Michah Tennant, died five days later, just hours before the game was resumed.
