Tuskegee University is hiring eight police officers to patrol the campus around the clock after the early Sunday morning shooting that left one dead and 16 others injuredthe president of the university announced on Thursday.

The security overhaul, according to Tuskegee University President Mark A. Brown, will also include cameras and metal detectors at the historically Black university.

Students will return for in-person learning on Tuesday, while a “day of healing” on campus is scheduled for Monday, Brown announced.

“Tuskegee University: We are as strong as the bricks our students used to build the buildings over 100 years ago. Buildings that are still preserved today. In this spirit of strength we will not allow the criminals who invaded our sacred space to prevail,” he said. We will continue to care and educate our students.”

Monday, the university fired Terrace Calloway, the campus police chiefand appointed Frank Lee as security consultant.

Lee will lead the nationwide search for the school’s new head of security, the university announced.

Brown characterized Tuskegee’s security response as “routine” when the shooting unfolded in the West Commons campus apartments in the pre-dawn hours Sunday as the University’s 100th Week was winding down.

La’Tavion Johnson, 18, of Troy, was killed in the shooting.

His family said Johnson was helping to save another victim when he died.

A 25-year-old man from Montgomery, Jaquez Myrick, was charged with being in possession of a machine gun. No one has yet been charged in Johnson’s death or the wounding of 16 other people, 12 of whom were shot.

Myrick initially denied firing a gun, but later told federal investigators he fired the gun but did not shoot anyone, according to federal court records.
