One Shot, Three Injured in Tenn. Campus Shooting Over Game of Dice

An on-campus shooting at a Tennessee university reportedly left one man dead and two women injured, authorities say.

The shooting reportedly took place at around 10:50 p.m. on Thursday evening at Tennessee State University when the suspect opened fire on a man and three women after reportedly losing a game of dice.

The 19-year-old man reportedly died at the scene while the suspect fled. The victim was not a student at the university.

The incident reportedly erupted in a fistfight over a game of dice that led to the suspect taking out his firearm and shooting the 19-year-old victim. The three women who were injured were reportedly innocent bystanders during the scuffle.

"This was an isolated shooting incident in a courtyard," Police Spokesperson Don Aaron said in a statement, as reported by the Associated Press. "There were never, we believe, any other students in danger in dormitories or elsewhere on campus."

"The person who fired those shots put innocent persons in extreme danger in this isolated incident," Aaron said. "We're hoping that TSU students that have this video, have this knowledge, understand that this person put them in danger tonight, and will report what they know."

Police are reportedly encouraging witnesses of the incident to come forward and share information, including any cell phone videos they may have taken.

The Metro Nashville Police Department sent out a tweet Thursday night warning fellow students of the shooting, writing: "1 person fatally wounded & 2 others hospitalized in Thur nite shooting @ TSU--apparent dispute over dice game in outdoor courtyard."
