A suspect opened fire near Tennessee State University (TSU) in Nashville on Saturday evening, killing at least one person and wounding several others.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) announced that the fatal shooting occurred shortly before a homecoming football game started at approximately 5:10 p.m. TSU faced Eastern Illinois University at Nissan Stadium.
“Multiple victims were injured following a shooting at Jefferson Street and 27th Avenue North,” police wrote on Facebook at 6:30 p.m. “The scene is safe and the victims are in area hospitals.”
In an update, police report that a 24-year-old man has died and that there are ten confirmed victims.
“Right now there are 10 victims confirmed to have been involved in that gunfire, one of which has died,” MNPD Public Information Officer Brooke Reese said during a briefing.
“Five of them were transported from the Nashville Fire Department to local hospitals,” she said. “Five others were dropped off by private vehicles.”
Reese said three non-critical victims were minors and were transported to a nearby children’s hospital.
She stressed that at least one of the wounded was believed to have been involved in the gunfire.
