A homecoming weekend celebration at Florida A&M University was overshadowed by gunfire Saturday, October 24, when a shooting near a Tallahassee football stadium left 12 people injured.
Six children were among those hurt, according to information released by local authorities.
The Associated Press confirmed that police are investigating an altercation that may have preceded the violence. The incident occurred in a crowded area after a football game, although investigators have not established whether the shooting was directly connected to the university or the sporting event.
Of the 12 people injured, 11 suffered gunshot wounds. Police said at least three victims were seriously hurt.
Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell confirmed that officers had not made any arrests following the incident. Authorities have not announced a possible motive or identified anyone suspected of involvement.
Florida A&M University later addressed the situation through social media, explaining that the violence occurred outside its campus area. University officials assured the public that the campus remained safe.
The investigation remains ongoing as police work to establish the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
