 One person was killed on the campus of Tuskegee University after dozens of shots were reported fired after the historically Black university’s 100th homecoming.

The person who was killed was not associated with the university, according to Tuskegee spokeswoman Thonnia Lee.

Several other people, including Tuskegee students, were injured and are receiving treatment at East Alabama Medical Center and Baptist South Hospital. The severity of their injuries was not immediately known.

Macon County Coroner Hal Bentley said “quite a few people” were injured, but he did not know an exact number of the injured. Bentley said he could not yet provide information about the person killed.

A female student was shot in stomach, Tuskegee city Police Chief Mardis said. “I helped load her up.” A male student was shot in the arm and Mardis said he did not have information about the third person injured.

In social media videos, rapid-fire shots are heard as people crouch on the ground and behind cars at West Commons.

City police were on the scene of an unrelated double shooting where two people suffered minor injuries at a Texaco station when officers got the call about the shooting at the West Commons on-campus apartments around 9:30 p.m., Mardis said.

“Some idiots started shooting,” Mardis said of the campus shooting. “You couldn’t get the emergency vehicles in there there were so many people there.”

Tuskegee celebrated its 100th homecoming on Saturday. It played Miles College, who Sunday morning said in a release that “our hearts are with the Tuskegee family as they face the tragic aftermath.”

Emergency responders, along with campus and local law enforcement, secured the scene. The State Bureau of Investigations is conducting an active investigation.

The university is in the process of completing student accountability and notifying parents, according to Lee.

No one is in custody and it was not immediately clear what led to the shooting, Mardis said.

“It’s horrible,” said Mardis, who is the former chief of campus police.

Mardis said he lived in fear of a shooting on campus when he led the university police department.

“I was always on pins and needles when I was there. You see it happen everywhere. It’s happened everywhere else but us.”

 President-elect Trump said Saturday that two of his former officials, Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo, would not be asked to join his second administration.

• Trump had previously said Haley would be on his team in "some form" after she vowed to vote for him.
• There was even speculation she could serve as the president-elect's running mate — an idea Trump quickly quashed in May.

Driving the news: "I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation," Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday.

• He continued, "I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country."

What she's saying: Haley replied to her former opponent's post, writing on X Saturday she was "proud to work with President Trump defending America at the United Nations," wishing him "great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years."

Between the lines: Transition insiders told Axios the former and soon-to-be president is prioritizing experienced candidates (who are also MAGA loyalists) when building his staff, Axios' Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei report.

• He announced Thursday that co-campaign manager Susie Wiles will serve as his chief of staff.

• She will be the first woman to ever hold the post — and the fifth chief of staff for Trump, who had four different individuals serve in the role during his first presidency.

Zoom out: Mike Pompeo, who served as CIA director and Secretary of State under Trump's first term, has not traded barbs with the president-elect as Haley has — but he has criticized the former administration on fiscal and foreign policy.

 North Korean troops deployed to Russia’s Kursk region have fought Kyiv’s forces on the battlefield, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday, adding that the clashes resulted in fatalities.

Zelensky said 11,000 North Korean soldiers are in the region, where Ukraine’s three-month military incursion into Russian territory has stalled.

Eleven thousand North Korean soldiers or soldiers of the North Korean army are currently present on the territory of the Russian Federation in the border with Ukraine on the north of our country in the Kursk region,” Zelensky told reporters at the European Political Community summit in Budapest, Hungary, on Thursday.

Some of these troops have already taken part in hostilities against the Ukrainian military. Yes, there are already losses, this is a fact.”

He did not specify which side suffered the losses.

The New York Times reported earlier this week that a number of North Korean troops had been killed in a limited engagement with Russian and Ukrainian forces, citing senior US and Ukrainian officials.
