At least 12 injured, including 6 children, in a shooting near Florida A&M University
At least 12 people were injured, including six children, in a shooting Saturday near a football stadium in Tallahassee on homecoming weekend for Florida A&M University, authorities said. Eleven people suffered gunshot wounds.
Tallahassee police said in a statement Sunday that six of the shooting victims remained hospitalized, and five had been discharged. One of those still hospitalized was being treated for critical injuries.
The department previously said at least three people sustained serious injuries in the shooting, while nine others are reported to be in stable condition.
The preliminary investigation indicates that a fight broke out before the shooting, according to police. It followed a football game in a crowded area.
Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell told reporters that no arrests had been made.
"Tonight, our thoughts are with the victims and their families as they face the devastating impact of this violence," said Revell. "It is especially heartbreaking to know that children are among those injured."
The university said on social media that the shooting happened near its campus and that it remained safe.
