Suspect in Florida State University shooting that left two dead is deputy’s son
Two people are dead and six others are in hospital after a shooting on Thursday at Florida State University in Tallahassee.
The deceased were not students, campus police said, but their identities have not been released.
The alleged gunman was identified as 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner, Leon County Sheriff Walter McNeil said. Mr Ikner also was shot by police and is in hospital.
Mr McNeil said he is the son of a Leon deputy and one of the guns found at the scene is a former service weapon purchased by the gunman’s mother, Jessica Ikner, a school resource office on the force for 18 years.
The university has cancelled all classes until at least Friday, and sports events were also cancelled for the weekend.
