Police said 12 people were injured when they were hit by gunfire, while four others were injured over the course of the incident, some while fleeing their shelter.

Several videos posted on social media captured what appeared to be numerous gunshots and showed people diving to the ground or taking cover in vehicles.

A statement from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency on Sunday announcing the arrest did not indicate whether authorities were still searching for additional suspects, but did call on the public to continue submitting relevant information to the FBI.

According to radio transmissions from police officers sent to campus to investigate the shooting, multiple shooters were initially suspected.

“There will be two shooters at this point, maybe more,” an officer said in a radio call, according to transmissions provided by Broadcastify.

In a statement from the university Sunday morning, Johnson was identified only as a “non-university individual.” The statement also noted that the individual’s parents had 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 statement continued.

State police added hours later that the person killed in the shooting was 18 years old. Shortly before midnight on Sunday, Johnson’s name was released.

At the request of the Macon County Sheriff’s Office, special agents with the ALEA Bureau of Investigation were investigating the shooting as of Sunday.

“Special agents are still in the process of gathering and examining information relating to the sequence of events that ultimately led to the shooting,” ALEA said.

Officials asked anyone with information about the shooting to contact investigators immediately. Authorities also asked potential witnesses to upload any digital files from the incident, including video, to the FBI.

University officials said it is “in the process of completing student accountability and notifying parents.”

“Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available,” the university added.

Tuskegee University canceled classes Monday and announced that grief counselors will be available for students in the school chapel.
