Authorities say a man with a weapon was arrested after leaving the scene of a shooting at Alabama's Tuskegee University

A shooting at Tuskegee University in Alabama during a homecoming celebration on Sunday resulted in the death of an individual and 16 injuries, the university said. Twelve people were wounded by gunfire, and four others sustained injuries not related to the gunshots, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said in a Sunday afternoon update.

Authorities said Montgomery resident Jaquez Myrick, 25, was seen leaving the scene of the shooting. Myrick was allegedly found in possession of a handgun with a machine gun conversion device and was arrested Sunday on a federal charge of possession of a machine gun, an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman said.
