One person was killed and more than a dozen others were injured at Tuskegee University in Alabama early Sunday, the university said. Some of those injured are students.

The incident took place during the early morning hours of Sunday, Nov. 10, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said in a news release obtained by PEOPLE. The shooting occurred during the last day of the Alabama university's 100th annual homecoming week.

Authorities said Montgomery resident Jaquez Myrick, 25, was seen leaving the scene of the shooting. Myrick was allegedly found in possession of a handgun with a machine gun conversion device and was arrested Sunday on a federal charge of possession of a machine gun, an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency spokesman said.
