A shooting near Florida A&M University’s Bragg Memorial Stadium on the night of Saturday, October 12, 2026, left 12 people injured, including several minors and an 11‑year‑old child. The incident occurred hours after a college football game at the stadium, but officials have not linked the shooting to the event. Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said the gunfire likely stemmed from a dispute involving two or three individuals. “The Violent Crimes Unit is leading the investigation,” Revell told reporters. “Our detectives, sergeants, and forensic staff are on the scene, gathering information as we proceed. This is an ongoing investigation.” Among the injured, one person is in critical condition, three others are seriously wounded, and eight are in stable condition. One of the victims is a Florida A&M student, according to the police chief. Florida A&M University released a statement confirming it was “aware of an incident that occurred near the campus on Perry Street on the night of October 12.” The university did not provide further details. Mayor John Dailey addressed the shooting on the social‑media platform X, describing it as a “tragedy truly horrific and heartbreaking.”
