Tallahassee shooting near FAMU injures 12; teen charged as adult

A 15-year-old identified as Anthony Rivers III was arrested and charged as an adult with 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder following a weekend shooting on Perry Street near Florida A&M University’s campus that left 12 people injured, including six minors. Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell announced the arrest at a Monday morning press conference, and a judge ordered the suspect held without release at his first court appearance. The shooting has also entered statewide political discourse, with Democratic gubernatorial ticket candidates weighing in on gun policy just eight days before the election.
