At least 12 injured, including 6 children, in shooting near Florida A&M University

At least 12 people were injured, including six children, in a shooting Saturday near a Tallahassee football stadium during Florida A&M University’s homecoming weekend, authorities said. Eleven people were shot and injured.

Tallahassee police said in a statement Sunday that six of the shooting victims remained hospitalized and five had been released. One of the people still hospitalized was being treated for serious injuries.

The department previously said at least three people were seriously injured in the shooting, while nine others were reported to be in stable condition.

The preliminary investigation indicates a fight broke out before the shooting, according to police. This followed a football match in a busy area.

The Tallahassee Police Department said Sunday that no arrests have been made, but investigators are working to identify those responsible. The ministry has set up a dedicated reporting line for people to submit information and a link for people to upload photos and videos.

“We know there are people who saw something, heard something or maybe have video that could help us piece together exactly what happened,” Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said. “We need our community’s help. No detail is too small and no information should be left unsaid.”

The university said on social media that the shooting happened near its campus and that it remained safe.

University President Marva Johnson said in a statement Sunday that she shared “outrage and deep sadness over the senseless and despicable shooting” near campus.

“To all the victims, please know that we are with you and praying for your recovery, physical, mental and spiritual,” Johnson said in a video.

Quinn Gray, FAMU’s head coach, responded to the shooting, saying in a Facebook post that “the senseless violence must stop” and that no argument or altercation is worth someone’s life.

“Homecoming is about family. It’s about coming home to celebrate everything FAMU means to us,” he said. “No one should leave our celebration in an ambulance, and no child should ever be caught in gunfire.”
