At least one dead and several injured in a shooting near Tennessee State University in Nashville, police said

One person was killed and at least nine others injured in a shooting just blocks from Tennessee State University’s campus in Nashville on Saturday evening.

In a news conference Saturday evening, Nashville police spokeswoman Brooke Reese said five of the victims were transported by ambulance to local hospitals and five others were dropped off by private vehicles.

“At this point, there are confirmed to be 10 victims involved in the shooting, one of whom is deceased,” Reese told reporters.

Some of those treated at area hospitals “are also suspected of involvement in the shooting,” Reese added.

The circumstances leading to the shooting were unknown. There was initially no information as to whether a suspect had been arrested. The identity of the person killed was also not revealed.

According to the Tennessean newspaper, the university sent a text message alert to students at 5:30 p.m. local time informing them that there was an active shooter off campus.

The shooting occurred as TSU celebrated homecoming festivities this weekend, CBS affiliate WTVF reports.
