A second suspect in last week’s Alabama A&M shooting has been arrested after being discharged from Huntsville Hospital.

Willie Brandon Nance, 23, the other alleged shooter, was booked into Madison County Jail on aggravated assault charges last week.
The school sent out a campus alert on its social media pages immediately after the shooting took place.
Dr. Daniel Wims, Alabama A&M president, addressed the incident.
“I understand the concerns this incident has raised. Please know that we remain committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our campus community. We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and take necessary actions to prevent such incidents in the future.”
