At least 12 people were injured in a shooting near Florida A&M University’s Bragg Memorial Stadium after the school’s homecoming football game Saturday night, according to an X post relaying a Tallahassee police briefing. The Tallahassee Police Department confirmed it was investigating a shooting near Perry and Manatee streets, but the available local news reports initially did not include an injury count.
WTXL reported that police were investigating a shooting on Perry Street and that FAMU urged people near Bragg Memorial Stadium and Perry Street to avoid the area or shelter in place. HBCU Gameday reported that the shooting happened Saturday night after the homecoming game and that police had confirmed the investigation.
In a later update, AngelaGreenTV reported on X that Tallahassee police said 12 people were injured, including 11 who were shot. The post said the victims included six adults and six juveniles; the youngest was 11. It also reported three serious injuries, one of them critical. These figures are attributed to the post’s account of a police update and are not included in the supplied local news articles’ initial reports.
The shooting was reported near the stadium, but authorities had not established whether it occurred on university property or whether those involved were connected to FAMU or homecoming, HBCU Gameday said. The circumstances and any arrests were not confirmed in the supplied reports. The investigation was ongoing.
