  "account": "A 15-year-old boy, Anthony Rivers III, has been charged as an adult with 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder after a shooting that injured 11 people at a Florida A&M University homecoming football game. The incident occurred on October 24, just an hour after the game, on a crowded street near Florida A&M’s Bragg Memorial Stadium. Six of the victims were minors, and four of them were students from the Leon County School District. One victim was in critical condition as of October 25. The shooting is believed to have followed a physical altercation between people who knew each other, though none of the victims were specifically targeted. Tallahassee prosecutor Jack Campbell stated that the decision to pursue adult charges was due to the severity of the offense. Rivers III had a prior arrest record, including charges for burglary and theft of a gun, as well as a probation violation that led to his placement in a juvenile home. Surveillance cameras and an ankle monitor helped identify him and a 15-year-old accomplice at a nearby shopping mall where the shooting erupted. Campbell noted that the incident could have resulted in even more casualties, occurring as crowds gathered on Perry Street near the stadium for pre- and post-game activities.",
