Nov. 10 (UPI) -- One person is dead and at least 16 injured following a shooting at Tuskegee University as the school marked its 100th homecoming anniversary Sunday.

The shooting happened on campus early Sunday morning, leaving an 18-year-old dead, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. A dozen people were injured by gunfire during the incident.

The victim who died did not attend the university, Tuskegee University spokeswoman Thonnia Leea said in a statement.

"Several others, including Tuskegee University students were injured and are receiving treatment at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and Baptist South Hospital in Montgomery," she said.

Officers with the ALEA were notified about 1:40 a.m. of multiple shooting victims on the campus, ALEA spokesman Sgt. Jeremy Burkett said.

"There's going to be two shooters at this time, maybe more," one officer said, according to local media reports.

No arrests had been made as of Sunday afternoon. The school canceled Monday classes.
