12 injured, including six children, in shooting near Florida A&M stadium

An 11-year-old was among 12 people injured when gunfire broke out near Florida A&M University's Bragg Memorial Stadium during homecoming weekend in Tallahassee.

Eleven people suffered gunshot wounds, while a grandmother of one of the shooting victims was injured while fleeing, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said. Six of the injured people were juveniles and six were adults. At least three victims had serious injuries.

What happened: The shooting began around 8 p.m. Saturday near Perry and Manatee streets, just outside the stadium, after Florida A&M had hosted Arkansas-Pine Bluff in its annual homecoming football game. Police said their preliminary investigation found that a physical altercation happened before shots were fired.

The toll: Revell said the youngest victim was 11. In a Sunday update, Tallahassee police said six victims remained hospitalized, including one in critical condition, and five people had been released. “It is especially heartbreaking to know that children are among those injured,” Revell said.

What police need: No arrests had been announced as of Sunday morning. Investigators asked anyone who saw the shooting, heard anything, or has photos or video to contact police. Florida A&M said the shooting happened near, rather than on, campus and said it would offer free counseling support to students.

Police are still working to identify the people responsible, and the key question is what witnesses and video from a crowded homecoming night can establish about the fight that came before the gunfire.
