TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -The Tallahassee Police Department is investigating an overnight shooting on West Pensacola Street, that ended with one man dead and eight others injured. It happened outside of the Half-Time Liquor store near the intersection of Pensacola Street and Ausley Drive just before midnight.

TPD confirmed at a press conference that injuries range from minor to serious.

Dozens of gunshots can be heard in a video shared with WCTV on Sunday. The clip captures people screaming and running as the incident unfolded.

TPD Chief Lawrence Revell confirmed in a Sunday morning press conference that three suspects have been arrested. One of the three suspects was shot from behind, according to the chief. Revell said two police officers who were already on the scene conducting crowd control, saw the suspect running from the scene in the direction of a nearby McDonald’s.

Chief Revell said in part “two officers pursed the arm subject, gave verbal commands for him to stop and drop the weapon and subsequently shot the subject in attempt to stop the threat and prevent further individuals from being victimized.”

Information on the additional people arrested has not yet been released.

Hours after the press conference, Tallahassee Mayor John Dailey tweeted a statement on Sunday, saying in part “I am proud of the quick response of the brave men and women of the Tallahassee Police Department. They put the safety of others ahead of their own.”
