According to Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell, eleven individuals were struck by gunfire, six of whom were minors, including an 11-year-old child. Chief Revell stated at a news conference that the victims and a victim's grandmother were injured while fleeing the scene near the stadium. The incident occurred just hours after the Florida A&M Golden Lions defeated the Arkansas–Pine Bluff Rattlers 31-28 in a homecoming football game at the stadium.\n\nAs of Sunday morning, five of the eleven victims had been released from the hospital, while six remained hospitalized. One of those still being treated was in critical condition. Police Chief Revell told reporters that the shooting was likely the result of an altercation between two to three individuals and that the department's Violent Crimes Unit would lead the ongoing investigation. He emphasized that the Tallahassee Police Department was working tirelessly to gather information and identify those responsible.\n\nTallahassee Mayor John Dailey described the incident as a \"truly horrific and heartbreaking tragedy\" and expressed solidarity with the FAMU community, stating that the entire community stands with them.
