One person was killed and two others were wounded by gunfire on the campus of Tennessee State University in Nashville late on Thursday, police said. The shootings, which occurred just before 1pm local time, appeared to have stemmed from a dispute over a dice game in an outdoor courtyard, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said.
The male who died was not enrolled at the school, a university spokeswoman said.
Police have not said whether the other individuals involved were students or visiting the campus. It was unclear if a suspect was in custody. The three gunshot victims were transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The two who survived had injuries not considered life-threatening, it was reported.
Last week, three people were shot and wounded during a large house party near the Tennessee State University campus.
