FAMU Homecoming Shooting Leaves 12 Injured, Including 6 Children
An eyewitness describes hearing rapid gunfire and seeing people scatter near Florida A&M University during homecoming weekend. Police are searching for suspects, according to WSB-TV's report.
Officers responded Saturday evening after an altercation near the university in Tallahassee. A police chief describes the shooting as an isolated incident involving two or three individuals. That is the police account presented in the report; no arrests had been made when it aired.
The anchor says five victims had been discharged and six remained hospitalized. Children were among those injured, though the report does not give individual accounts of their conditions.
WSB-TV's brief update drew about 46,000 views in its first day, roughly twenty times the station's usual start for a Short.
The police chief also addresses the toll on the families: "No family should have to experience this kind of violence, this kind of fear, this kind of heartbreak."
