The full story

Twelve people, including six children, were injured in a shooting near Florida A&M University's Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee at about 8 p.m. Saturday during homecoming weekend, police said. Eleven were shot. Police said three had serious injuries, one of them critical according to some reports, and the rest were stable. The youngest victim was 11, and a twelfth person, a grandmother, was hurt while fleeing. Police Chief Lawrence Revell said no arrests had been made. Investigators believe a fight near Perry and Manatee streets preceded the gunfire, and Revell called it an isolated incident among two or three people. The university said the campus remained safe and asked people to avoid the area. Florida State University, about a mile away, told people in the area to stay indoors.

Right-leaning outlets the Daily Mail and New York Post lead with vivid scene-setting. The Daily Mail says celebrations descended into chaos and adds terrified crowds, the youngest victim's age, the grandmother and the chief struggling to comprehend the violence. The Post calls it a bloody altercation at a party and features Revell's isolated-incident remark, a manhunt for suspects and a student's account of being trampled. Left-leaning NBC News and CBS News use plainer headlines built around the injury count and the children. They rely on police statements and the preliminary finding of a fight, and they add the university's statement, Florida State's alert and Revell's condolences. In the portions shown, they omit the manhunt, the grandmother and the isolated-incident claim. Both sides agree on the counts, the fight and the lack of arrests.
