Moment of Silence at OSU Football Game for Homecoming Parade Tragedy

OSU Twitter Feed

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — A football stadium crowd has observed a moment of silence for the victims of a fatal crash hours earlier at Oklahoma State's annual homecoming parade.

The flag was lowered to half-staff at Boone Pickens Stadium Saturday afternoon before kickoff of the Number 14 Cowboys' homecoming game against Kansas. Officials had considered postponing the game but decided to play it as scheduled and honor the victims.

After running out onto the field before the game, most of the Oklahoma State players knelt in prayer by the OSU sideline.

Four people were killed and dozens injured when a car careened into a crowd at the homecoming parade. The driver of the car was arrested on a DUI charge.
