Twelve people were injured, including six minors, during a shooting near the Bragg Memorial Stadium at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee on October 25, 2026, telemundo51.com reported. Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell stated during an early Sunday press conference that 11 of the victims suffered gunshot wounds, while three people sustained serious injuries, including a minor in grave condition. The youngest victim is 11 years old, and authorities believe one of those hurt is a student at the historically Black university. Chief Revell noted that the remaining victims remain in stable condition and added that he did not reveal the identities of those hurt. Revell also expressed his condolences to the victims and their families.
The violence erupted around 8:00 p.m. near the intersection close to the stadium where annual homecoming events and a football game between the Florida A&M Rattlers and the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions had taken place earlier in the day. Investigators reported that an initial altercation between two or three individuals preceded the gunfire, according to metro.pr. Police described the event as an isolated clash in a crowded area rather than a targeted attack on the university itself. The university described the shooting as having occurred “near the campus,” which was characterized as a safe place.
How the Shooting Unfolded Near the Stadium
According to telemundo51.com, officers rushed to Perry Street as the chaos broke out among crowds leaving the homecoming festivities. Some officers carried victims in their arms because crowds blocked traditional vehicle access, telemundo51.com reported, with Revell affirming that “There were officers who took the victims in their arms to transport them, since they could not make their way through the crowd.”
