– Tragic Incident Near Tuskegee University During Homecoming Weekend

In the early hours of November 10, 2024, a devastating shooting occurred in a parking lot near Tuskegee University in Alabama, coinciding with the university’s homecoming celebrations. The incident began when an individual revved their engine and discharged a firearm into the air, triggering a cascade of gunfire from others present. As of now, 17 individuals have been reported shot, with two fatalities. Authorities recovered hundreds of shell casings at the scene, and eyewitness accounts suggest the use of a Glock switch, a device that converts a semi-automatic firearm into fully automatic. Although the shooting did not occur on the Tuskegee University campus, it coincided with the university’s homecoming events and nearby activities involving Miles College. At this time, no suspect information is available. The incident is being treated as a criminal act with no known connections to domestic terrorism or homegrown violent extremism.
