At least 12 people were injured in the shooting near FAMU’s Bragg Memorial Stadium on Saturday night, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said at a late-night press conference, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. Eleven of the victims suffered gunshot wounds; six were adults and six were juveniles, with the youngest just 11 years old. One older woman was injured amid the panic.
