At least 12 people, including children, were hurt in a mass shooting outside Florida A&M University’s football stadium.<\/p>\n
NBC<\/a> reports 11 of the 12 were shot near Bragg Memorial Stadium on Saturday, which featured homecoming celebrations and a college football game. The Tallahassee Police Department said six of the victims were under 18 years old; the youngest was 11.<\/p>\n Three victims had serious injuries, including a minor, police said. The others were listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n ABC<\/a> reports the one person who was injured but not from a gunshot wound was “a grandmother of one of the victims,” according to Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell. She was injured fleeing from the scene, Revell said.<\/p>\n No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n Revell said a preliminary investigation points to one shooter. The shooting allegedly began after an altercation, which he described as “an isolated incident between two or three individuals.”<\/p>\n “Our priority is to determine what happened and why it happened, and to bring the people that are responsible for this to justice,” Revell said.<\/p>\n According to NBC, the shooting began around 8 p.m. at an intersection adjacent to Bragg Memorial Stadium. The FAMU Rattlers football team hosted the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions in a homecoming game earlier Saturday.<\/p>\n “Our hearts are with the victims and everyone affected by tonight’s incident on Perry Street,” Florida A&M University said in a statement<\/a> late Saturday night. “While the campus remains safe, individuals are encouraged to avoid the area to allow law enforcement to conduct its investigation.”<\/p>\n MORE BY GEOFF HERBERT<\/p>\n Iconic music duo reunites for ‘new era’ after breaking up 5 years agoOct. 23, 2026, 8:21 a.m.<\/a><\/p>\n Entire police department resigns after mayor allegedly put tracker on chief’s truckOct. 23, 2026, 2:07 p.m.<\/a><\/p>\n According to NBC, Florida State University, which is located about a mile away from the A&M campus, also issued an emergency alert.
