The search continues for three suspects in a shooting that left one dead and four injured near the campus of Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee.
The victims were not students of Austin Peay, however all students were alerted as the shooting occurred just blocks away from campus. Emergency services and police used sports fields for the arrival of helicopters. According to NBC, there is nothing that indicates this was related to anything at the college, and there does not appear to be any danger to the university community.
