On Thursday, a tragic shooting at Florida State University resulted in at least one fatality and left six others injured. Authorities have reportedly apprehended a suspect, as stated by various media outlets.
According to ABC News, which referenced multiple unnamed sources from law enforcement, one individual has died from the incident.
The gunfire erupted around noon at the Student Union building within the university’s campus located in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida. In response, students and faculty were instructed to remain in their locations as police began their investigation. The university’s main campus serves over 42,000 students.
Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare reported that it received six individuals for treatment—one critically injured and the others in serious condition.
Law enforcement officials informed CNN that a suspect was taken into custody shortly after the shooting occurred. Additionally, three firearms were discovered at the scene: one on the suspect, one in a nearby vehicle, and a shotgun located inside the student union.
At the time of this report, law enforcement agencies were unable to be reached for further details or confirmation of the incident.
FBI Director Kash Patel shared on X (formerly Twitter) that he had been briefed about the Florida State shooting, mentioning that a team from the FBI’s Jacksonville office was providing assistance. “We will offer our full support to local law enforcement as required,” he stated.
This incident marks yet another instance of gun violence affecting an educational institution in the United States. In 2014, a Florida State University alumnus opened fire at the school’s library, injuring two students and a staff member while many were studying for exams.
