Tallahassee is reeling this morning after a shooter killed two and injured six at Florida State University on Thursday. Soon after the alert about the active shooter, Capitol police told lawmakers, staff and reporters not to leave the building — located about 3 miles from where the shooting happened.

A gunman, later identified as Phoenix Ikner, begins to open fire at the FSU Student Union, using a handgun that belonged to his mother, a Leon County sheriff's deputy. Noon – Sirens begin blaring out in downtown Tallahassee as countless law enforcement officers and other first responders from multiple agencies descended on campus.

Police say the shooting suspect is the son of a respected local sheriff's deputy with strong ties to the community. He was shot and wounded at the scene.
