Authorities identified the suspect in a tragic shooting at Florida State University on Thursday, Phoenix Ikner, 20. Sheriff McNeill also confirmed that Ikner had previously been involved in the Sheriff Youth Advisory Committee. The attack occurred near the FSU student union, killing two people and injuring at least five people. The deceased has not been confirmed, but has been identified as not a student at the university. Ikner is also hospitalized and is being injured. “This incident is not like people in the audience who look at it more from a law enforcement perspective,” Sheriff McNeil said in a press conference. “But I will tell you this – we will do everything we can to sue and make sure we send people a message that in Leon County, this will never tolerate in this state and this country, which will never tolerate.” FSU canceled the campus community on Friday because of the consequences of campus community with violence. Law enforcement officers continue to investigate the motives behind the attack and the events that led to the incident. This story is developing.
