NASHVILLE — One man was killed and three women were wounded in a shooting stemming from a fight over a dice game on the campus of Tennessee State University, the police said on Friday.
The 19-year-old who died in the shooting on Thursday night had not been enrolled at the college, a police spokesman, Don Aaron, said. It was not known whether the assailant, who fled, was a student.
The shooting occurred in a courtyard around 10:50 p.m. Witnesses said an argument over the dice game boiled over into a fistfight, and then “suddenly shots were fired,” Mr. Aaron said.
Three students whom Mr. Aaron described as “innocent passers-by” were struck. One was grazed and did not require medical attention, while two others were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with injuries. One had been released by Friday morning, while the other was in stable condition and was expected to make a full recovery, Mr. Aaron said. read more
