Police were called out to Koehler Park, 15352 Walnut St., at about 8:12 p.m. Monday to a report of assault with a deadly weapon. Responding officers found that several rounds of paintball ammunition were shot into a crowd during a children's soccer practice.

Several people were hit, including a 9-year-old girl who was struck in the face while on the soccer field, Fontana police said. She suffered minor injuries.
