1 Dead, 16 Injured After Shooting At Tuskegee University

ATLANTA (AP) — A shooting during homecoming weekend at Tuskegee University in Alabama has left one person dead and injured 16 others, a dozen of them by gunfire. Authorities announced an arrest on a weapons charge. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency says Jaquez Myrick was arrested while leaving the scene of the shooting early Sunday and was found with a handgun with a machine gun conversion device. The agency did not accuse him of using the gun in the shooting or provide additional details. The shooting erupted as the historically Black university’s 100th Homecoming Week was winding down. Authorities said an 18-year-old man who died was not a university student but that some of the injured were students. Tuskegee canceled classes Monday.
