- According to ABC News, at least 12 people were injured, including six children, in a shooting near a football stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. The shooting occurred on homecoming weekend for Florida A&M University.

The Guardian, citing Reuters, reported that the shooting took place on Saturday night near the university's campus on Perry Street. According to that account, 11 people sustained gunshot wounds and one other person was injured.

The Guardian also reported that police said an altercation at a homecoming party “escalated into gunfire,” resulting in six adults and six juveniles being injured.

CBS News reported that police said a fight broke out before the shooting. Its headline put the number of injured at at least 12, including six children.

The accounts differ on the number of people shot. ABC News and CBS News describe at least 12 injured without specifying how many had gunshot wounds, while The Guardian reports 11 gunshot wounds plus one other injury. The sources agree on six children or juveniles among the injured.

The reports also describe the start of the incident differently. CBS News cited police saying a fight broke out before the shooting, and The Guardian described an altercation at a homecoming party. The summaries do not state whether these were the same incident. None of the summaries reports an arrest or identifies a suspect, and none describes the condition of the injured.
