Tuskegee Univeristy

The Associated Press is finishing up 2025 by remembering notable news makers who died this year. One may be familiar to longtime listeners to Alabama Public Radio. Pete Buxton died in May at the age of eighty six. He was the federal health care worker who blew the whistle on the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment.

A Tuskegee University student says he hid under a car when he heard the gunshots that ripped across his Alabama campus. Sid Guynn said Monday that he ran back to his dorm terrified by what sounded to him like a machine gun. The shooting early Sunday left one man dead and injured at least 16 other people. A dozen of them were injured by gunfire.
