Teenager arrested after 12 injured near Florida university stadium

Tallahassee police arrested Anthony Rivers III, 15, on Sunday in connection with a shooting near Florida A&M University’s football stadium that injured 12 people. Eleven were hit by gunfire; another person injured their ankle while fleeing. Six of those hurt were minors, police said.

The shooting happened at about 8pm on Saturday near Perry and Manatee streets, after the university’s homecoming football game. Police say a physical altercation preceded the gunfire and believe it involved people who knew one another. Their preliminary assessment is that none of those injured was an intended target.

Police say Rivers faces 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder and a firearm possession charge. The arrest does not establish who fired the shots. Investigators say their inquiry remains open and further arrests are possible.
