Twelve people were hurt near Florida A&M University's Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee on Saturday evening after the homecoming football game, NBC News and WFSU reported. Police said 11 of the 12 were hit by gunfire. The twelfth person was hurt while running from the scene, Chief Lawrence Revell said at an early Sunday news conference covered by NBC News.
Revell said six of those hurt were under 18 and that the youngest was 11. Police said three people had serious wounds, with one minor in serious condition, and that the rest were stable. WFSU said in a Sunday morning update that five people had left the hospital, that others were still in care, and that one person remained in critical condition.
Revell called the shooting an isolated dispute among two or three people and said police thought one shooter was involved. No one had been arrested, NBC News and WFSU reported. Police said a fight broke out near Perry and Manatee Streets before the shots were fired. The university said the campus was safe and asked people to stay clear of the area.
Earlier Saturday, Florida A&M hosted Arkansas-Pine Bluff for its homecoming game at the stadium. Florida State University, about a mile away, warned people in Tallahassee to stay indoors Saturday evening.
Revell asked witnesses to come forward and said officers carried some of the wounded when cars could not get through the crowd.
