A 15-year-old male will be charged as an adult after a Tallahassee, Florida, mass shooting over the weekend in which 11 were wounded, authorities said.

The shooting took place Saturday outside Bragg Stadium after Florida A&M University's homecoming football game, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

'What should have been a weekend of celebration in our community instead became a night of fear and violence for the victims and their families.'

Tallahassee Police on Sunday arrested Anthony Rivers III in connection with the shooting, which the paper said was one of the worst in Tallahassee history.

Rivers, who has faced criminal charges in the past, made his first court appearance Monday, the paper said, adding that State Attorney Jack Campbell said the teen will be charged as an adult and transferred from the Juvenile Assessment Center to the Leon County Detention Facility.

The 15-year-old is facing 11 counts of attempted second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a delinquent, police said.

The paper said it names minors when they are charged with violent offenses.

"Our investigation indicates that a physical altercation occurred before shots were fired," Police Chief Lawrence Revell said, according to the paper. "At this stage of the investigation, none of the victims appear to have been the intended targets."

Detectives believe the incident stemmed from a dispute between people who knew one another, the Democrat added.

Revell previously said detectives believed there was only one shooter, but police now say additional arrests are possible, the paper noted.

Leon Circuit Judge Andrew Sheeran during a Monday juvenile court hearing ordered Rivers held in "secure detention" while his case is pending, which the judge said is required by statute given the nature of the charges, the paper reported.

Sheeran also granted a motion he said police filed to seal the probable cause affidavit, which includes details of the crime and what led to the suspect's arrest, the paper said.

The paper said at least 12 people were injured, including 11 who were shot. Police said one individual injured an ankle while fleeing the gunfire.

Six of the victims were children, including the youngest victim, who is 11 years old, Revell told the Democrat.

The chief on Monday added to Fox News that five of the 11 who were shot have been released from the hospital, while three of the six still hospitalized were in critical condition, with one listed as very critical.

Half of the victims were male, the other half female, the paper said.

Gunfire erupted shortly before 8 p.m. Oct. 24, at Perry and Manatee streets, an area usually packed with food trucks and vendors during FAMU home football games. It was packed with students, alumni, families, and Rattlers fans.

"What should have been a weekend of celebration in our community instead became a night of fear and violence for the victims and their families," Revell said. "While this arrest marks a significant step forward, our work is far from over. We remain committed to holding those responsible accountable and getting answers for every family impacted by this tragedy."

TPD said its officers and investigators worked "around the clock" to identify the alleged shooter.

"In the moments immediately following the shooting, our officers rushed toward danger to render aid to victims even before the scene was fully secured," Revell said. "I could not be prouder of the men and women of this department."

Police said a "significant influx" of information poured in from the community, the paper reported, adding that police before the arrest asked the public for any cellphone video or tips from witnesses.

The police "need our community's help. No detail is too small, and no piece of information should go unreported," Revell said, according to the paper. "If you know something, please share it with our detectives. Your information could be the key to holding those responsible accountable."

Police established a dedicated tip hotline (850-891-4610) and activated an evidence submission website (tallahasseepd.evidence.com/axon/community-request/public/perrystreetincident), the paper said.

Tipsters also can remain anonymous by calling Crime Solvers at 850-574-TIPS with tips and other information, the Democrat noted.

Between rising political unrest in the U.S. and the riots and protests across France, along with every other tragic, enraging, or fear-inducing headline, stories about hope and resilience are often lost.

But on a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” the Blaze Media co-founder shared a story he says proves that our ultimate hope has never been politics but Jesus.

“God's working in ways that we might go, ‘Well, that doesn't help politically.’ I don't think God's in politics,” says Glenn.

“He's into changing people's hearts and that's what changes culture and that's what changes politics.”

He then shares the story of Ahmed Joktan — a Saudi-born medical doctor who converted from Islam to Christianity and is now an evangelist focused on reaching Muslims.

“He grew up in a house where God had rules. His father knew all of them because his father was a mufti, an Islamic legal scholar,” says Glenn. “So you know when somebody needed to be heard on Sharia law — Do we cut his hand off? Do we not cut his hand off? Do we stone her or not? — his father was the guy who made the decisions.”

By the age of 13, Glenn shares, Ahmed had “memorized the entire Quran — every word.”

After starting medical school in Saudi Arabia, Ahmed struggled because his earlier education hadn’t taught English, so he couldn’t read his textbooks. His father sent him to Auckland, New Zealand, for a short, intensive language course.

While there, a miracle happened.

“One night while he's there, he had a dream. And in the dream, the doors to his balcony in his room swung open. Light poured into the room — more light, he said, than the room could hold. ... In walks a figure of a man, and he hears a voice, ‘Come to me,”’ Glenn recounts.

He explains that in the dream, the light-surrounded man showed Ahmed “a building with white pillars in front of it.”

“And the voice said, ‘Go to the house of white pillars, and there you shall find the truth,”’ says Glenn.

Ahmed, he says, was so terrified he told his classroom about the dream. His teacher, who was a Christian, proposed that he might have encountered Jesus — a proposition the Muslim Ahmed was not open to.

“He leaves class. He's walking the streets of Auckland, and he finds it. ... He sees the building from his dream,” says Glenn.

The building was Auckland Baptist Tabernacle — a historic church founded through the missionary work of Thomas Spurgeon, son of world-renowned preacher Charles Spurgeon.

Inside, Ahmed met the pastor, Brian Johnson.

“They talked about sin. They talked about life. They talked about salvation. They talked about who Jesus is. The pastor even started with the places in the Quran that called Jesus the Word of God because he knew Ahmed was already grounded in that,” says Glenn.

“Well, Ahmed didn't want to read the Bible. He resisted it. But eventually he read one verse, and it was John 14:6: ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ The truth — the same word the voice in the dream had used,” he continues.

Ahmed converted to Christianity, but his joy was immediately met with fear. He had to return to Saudi Arabia, where Islam is the official religion, and any public practice of any non-Muslim religion is illegal.

“He smuggles an Arabic New Testament into Saudi Arabia that's tucked in between all of his English textbooks,” says Glenn.

But it wasn’t long before his family caught him reading his Bible.

“The brothers come in, and they beat him within an inch of his life. Then dad comes home. ... He picks up an AK-47, points it at his own son, and says, ‘I will kill you unless you burn that book,”’ Glenn recounts.

Ahmed burned the book to stay alive, but the Word of God had already been burned into his heart.

Disowned by his family, Ahmed returned to New Zealand to begin a new life as a Christian.
