Teen killed in Tuskegee University homecoming shooting died saving girl’s life, family says: ‘He’s a hero’Arrest made after Tuskegee University homecoming shooting left 18-year-old dead, injured 16 people “This year, to us, was special,” Brown said. “It was our centennial, our 100th anniversary. The university planned for thousands of people to join us to celebrate our centennial homecoming.
“However, the general campus remained open and we did not, nor could we have planned for security at an event that was not approved in advance or officially sanctioned by the university,” Brown said. “Students are our greatest asset, and we will do everything possible to protect them. Mother Tuskegee has been serving students and changing their lives for the betterment of some 143 years. We remain resolute to safely continue that mission.”
