In a Sunday morning update, the Tallahassee Police Department said five of the people injured in the shooting outside Florida A&M University’s Bragg Memorial Stadium had been released from the hospital. Of those still hospitalized, one was in critical condition, police said.

At a news conference after the shooting, TPD Chief Lawrence Revell said he believed one of the victims was a grandmother.
