In a tragic incident early Sunday morning, multiple people were injured, and one individual was killed in a shooting on the campus of Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) launched an investigation at the request of the Macon County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting occurred at approximately 1:40 a.m., and authorities are now asking the public for assistance in their investigation.

According to ALEA, a total of 16 individuals sustained injuries during the incident. An 18-year-old juvenile was pronounced dead at the scene, marking a devastating loss for the Tuskegee University community. Twelve people sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to nearby hospitals in Montgomery and Lee counties for medical treatment. Four additional individuals experienced injuries unrelated to gunfire during the chaotic incident.

ALEA is urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward to aid in the investigation. Those with knowledge of the events are asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or upload any relevant digital files through an online portal at fbi.gov/tuskegeeshooting24.

In response to the incident, Tuskegee University has announced that all classes scheduled for Monday, November 11, will be canceled. Law enforcement continues to investigate the scene, and the university aims to ensure student safety and provide support to those affected. Grief counselors will be available for students in the university chapel on Monday, offering a space for the community to come together in the wake of this traumatic event.

As the investigation remains ongoing, ALEA and local authorities have not released further details. The university community and residents of Macon County are in mourning as they await answers and seek justice for the victims.
