TUSKEGEE, Ala. >> The Sunday shooting at Tuskegee University left one man dead and injured at least 16 other people, a dozen of them by gunfire, authorities said. An arrest was announced hours later. Many of the injured were students.
The man killed in the homecoming weekend shooting at Tuskegee University has been identified as 18-year-old La’Tavion Johnson, of Troy, Alabama, who was not a student, the local coroner said Monday.
Jaquez Myrick, 25, of Montgomery, was taken into custody while leaving the scene of the campus shooting and had been found with a handgun with a machine gun conversion device, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said. Myrick faces a federal charge of possession of a machine gun, the agency said in a statement.
