The person who died from gunfire was not a student at Tuskegee University, according to a statement to Fox News.
“The parents of this individual have been notified. Several others including Tuskegee University students were injured and are receiving treatment at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery,” the university said in a statement to Fox News. “Emergency responders, along with campus and local law enforcement, have secured the scene. The Alabama Bureau of Investigations is conducting an active investigation.”
Fox News reported:
At least one person is dead, and 16 others are injured after gunshots rang out near the campus of Tuskegee University in Alabama on Sunday morning.
Of the 16 injured, police said 12 of them were wounded by gunfire.
No arrests have been made. All classes will be canceled on Monday as law enforcement continues to “process the scene,” and grief counselors will be made available to students in the chapel on Monday, according to a statement from Alabama Law Enforcement Agency on X.
The frightening moments, which unfolded during the university’s 100th homecoming weekend, were captured on video posted to social media.
