Horror in Alabama
One dead and 16 injured in shooting at US university
An 18-year-old person has been killed in a shooting at a US university in the state of Alabama. 16 people were injured. The police have arrested a 25-year-old suspect.
The authorities initially gave no details of the background to the incident at a celebration for former graduates of Tuskegee University.
Twelve of the injured had gunshot wounds, the others had other injuries, the authorities said. The investigation was ongoing. The university canceled classes for Monday and provided psychological counseling to the students.
A handgun that had been converted to a machine gun was recovered from the suspect. The FBI has joined the investigation and is asking for tips from the public as well as any video footage that witnesses may have.
The feds set up a website where people can upload videos. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was also involved in the investigation, a local prosecutor said.
Sunday's shooting occurred a little more than a year after four people were injured in a shooting at a Tuskegee University student housing complex.
