A newly unsealed federal complaint says a man accused of having a machine gun at Tuskegee University admitted to firing his weapon during a weekend shooting, but denied shooting at anyone. The shooting early Sunday on the campus left one man dead and at least 16 others hurt. The man faces a federal charge of having a machine gun but has not been accused of shooting at anyone. The complaint says the man told agents he had come to the campus “looking for a party” when the shooting started. The complaint also describes how one officer ran toward the gunfire. A dozen of the victims were hit by gunfire, with the others injured as they tried to escape.
