One person was killed on the campus of Tuskegee University, after dozens of shots were reported fired after midnight.

According to Tuskegee spokeswoman Thonnia Lee, the person who was killed was not associated with the university.

Several other people, including Tuskegee students, were injured and are receiving treatment at East Alabama Medical Center and Baptist South Hospital.

Macon County Coroner Hal Bentley said “quite a few people” were injured, but he did not know an exact number of the injured. Bentley said he could not yet provide information about the person killed.

A female student was shot in stomach, Tuskegee city Police Chief Mardis said. “I helped load her up.” A male student was shot in the arm and Mardis said he did not have information about the third person injured.

In social media videos, rapid-fire shots are heard as people crouch on the ground and behind cars at West Commons.

City police were on the scene of an unrelated double shooting where two people suffered minor injuries at a Texaco station when officers got the all about the shooting at the West Commons on-campus apartments around 9:30 p.m., Mardis said.

“Some idiots started shooting,” Mardis said. “You couldn’t get the emergency vehicles in there there were so many people there.”

Tuskegee celebrated its 100th homecoming on Saturday.

Emergency responders, along with campus and local law enforcement, have secured the scene. The Alabama Bureau of Investigations is conducting an active investigation.

The university is in the process of completing student accountability and notifying parents, according to Lee.

No one is in custody and it was not immediately clear what led to the shooting, Mardis said.

The State Bureau of Investigation is aiding in the investigation.

“It’s horrible,” said Mardis, who is the former chief of campus police.

“I was always on pins and needles when I was there. You see it happen everywhere. It’s happened everywhere else but us.”
