JEANNETTE, Pa. (KDKA) -- Jeannette football fans can continue to expect more police and security measures.

The district said it will continue wanding people and using metal detectors at the main entrance of McKee Stadium following a deadly shooting two weeks ago.

Dameian Williams, 48, was shot and killed. Greg Harper, 40, has been charged with the killing.

Changes went into effect during last Friday's game, and there were no incidents.
