Three men were arrested in Texas after allegedly shooting a youth baseball coach who was leading his team in prayer on the field.

The 27-year-old youth baseball coach is recovering after being shot in the shoulder during a pregame prayer with his young team.

It happened at The Rac baseball complex in Katy.

The coach was leading his Houston Warriors players in a moment of prayer, faith and unity when gunfire erupted.

Eyewitnesses described a scene of pure chaos: children and coaches diving for cover as bullets ricocheted off poles and peppered the field.

The coach was shot and airlifted to a Houston-area hospital.
Authorities say the three men were engaging in what they described as "recreational target practice"
