One person has been killed and 16 others were injured in a shooting at a US university. Homecoming week at Tuskegee University in Alabama was marred early on Sunday by the attack on campus.
A 18-year-old man died in the assault. He was not a university student, but some of the injured were.
Of the 16 wounded, 12 were hurt by gunfire, authorities said.
"The parents of this individual [killed] have been notified. Several others including Tuskegee University students were injured and are receiving treatment at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery," the university said in a statement.
A 25-year-old man, who was found with a weapon while leaving the scene of the shooting, has been arrested and charged with a federal offence.
The FBI has also joined the investigation.
