PHOTOS: Florida State University active-shooter report stuns campus

A tragic incident unfolded at the main Tallahassee campus of Florida State University (FSU) where a 20-year-old student opened fire, resulting in the death of two individuals and injuries to six others.

The suspected shooter, Phoenix Ikner, who is the son of a sheriff’s deputy, reportedly used his mother’s firearm during the attack.

After being shot by the police, Ikner was promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment. Currently, the authorities have not disclosed the identities of the victims involved in the shooting, clarifying that the two individuals who lost their lives were not affiliated with FSU.

FSU wrote on X shortly after 12 p.m. that an active shooter was reported at the student union and instructed those on campus to shelter in place. Classes were canceled by the university through Friday, and athletic events in Tallahassee were canceled through the weekend.

The shelter-in-place notice was lifted shortly after 3 p.m., when FSU informed its community that law enforcement had “neutralized” the threat.

“The [FBI] is on the scene at Florida State and we are in communication with agents on the ground. Our priority is the safety of everyone involved. We will keep updating as we learn more. Praying for all,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X.

FBI Director Kash Patel said he was briefed on the situation, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed that the bureau was on the scene at FSU.

“The FBI is on the scene at FSU. I am en route back to DC from our LA office but we are getting updates on the situation on the plane. We will update you as we learn more,” Bongino wrote in a post on X.
