Varsity high school football games in western Contra Costa County will now be starting early and school officials plan to restrict student attendance after three people were shot at a game in Richmond, school district officials said.

Police were responding to a fight in the 3300 block of Morningside Drive, about a block from De Anza High School, around 9:20 p.m., when shots rang out. Two teens who suffered gunshot wounds were transported to a hospital. Another showed up at the hospital later on their own.
