A man was killed and nine other people were injured in a shooting Saturday near Tennessee State University as the Nashville school celebrated homecoming – and investigators believe at least one of the injured participated in the gunfire, officials said. At least three of the injured were juveniles who had non-critical injuries, Nashville police said on X. The shooting happened around 5 p.m. along a street where TSU’s homecoming parade had taken place that morning, Nashville police and fire officials said at a news conference Saturday evening. The man who died was 24 years old, police said on X. His name, the names of the injured, and information about a motive were not immediately released. At least one of the injured people “is suspected to have been involved in the gunfire,” Nashville police said on X. Police didn’t immediately say whether they were looking for anyone in connection with the shooting. Investigators didn’t immediately know whether any of the people shot were TSU students, Nashville police Cmdr. Anthony McClain told reporters. “We think this is something that was kind of a sidebar to the (homecoming) celebration” and “not a direct reflection on the university itself,” McClain said.
