A man was fatally shot and nine other people were wounded, including three children, after two groups fired at each other as crowds from a Tennessee State University homecoming parade were thinning out Saturday, Nashville police said.
A 24-year-old man died in the gunfire that erupted off campus on Jefferson Street around 5:10 p.m., after the parade was over but as parking lots were still full of people, police said.
“We can tell from the shell casings that there were gunshots from one side of the street, and then on the other side of the street,” police spokesman Don Aaron told reporters.
Much of the crowd had left to go to the Tennessee State Tigers-Eastern Illinois Panthers game in Nashville when the shooting erupted, police said.
Police did not identify the victims, or say whether any were students. Their conditions vary, from people who were grazed by gunfire to people with critical injuries.
