A 15-year-old boy is now facing charges after a terrifying weekend shooting wounded 11 people at Florida A&M University. This went down right after the school’s homecoming football game, a night that should have been pure celebration but turned into chaos.
Chaos After the Game
The shooting happened Saturday night, just outside Bragg Memorial Stadium, after Florida A&M lost their game to Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Imagine leaving a homecoming game, the energy still buzzing, and then sheer terror takes over. Police said the area was absolutely packed with people exiting the stadium and the homecoming festivities. Videos even surfaced on social media showing people fleeing, just running for their lives. Authorities moved fast, arresting the teenage suspect on Sunday. He’s been hit with serious charges, including attempted second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a delinquent.
The Unintended Targets
The details that are coming out are just brutal. Eleven people were struck by gunfire, and another person was injured simply trying to get away from the scene. What’s even tougher to hear is that six of those hurt were minors, and at least three victims suffered serious injuries. Investigators believe a fight broke out right before the shots were fired, and get this, it looks like none of the victims were even the intended targets. It’s a gut-wrenching situation for everyone involved, especially for a community gathered for what should have been a fun, memorable night.
