NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police say gunfire broke out among a crowd near Tennessee State University’s homecoming celebrations. They say one person was killed and nine others were injured. A disturbance in a crowd escalated to the shooting Saturday afternoon near the campus. Metro Nashville Police Commander Anthony McClain said the gunfire didn’t appear to be directly related to the university events. The crowd was in the area where a parade and other festivities had taken place and the football game was being played in another part of town. A police statement said a 24-year-old man was killed and the injured included two 12-year-olds and a 14-year-old.
