As multiple rounds of gunfire erupted near Florida State University’s student union minutes before noon on Thursday, students ran away from the campus trying to get to safety as the sound of emergency sirens grew louder. Just two minutes after 911 calls reported the shooting, the suspect was shot by university police and taken into custody, authorities said. Despite the speedy response, the shooting left two dead and injured five others, sending shock waves through the university community. “The call went out, someone called it in, and immediately they responded to the scene and immediately neutralized the suspect and prevented this from being a bigger tragedy,” FSU President Richard McCullough said at a news conference Thursday. As new details emerge about the suspected shooter, Tallahassee police are searching for motive as they investigate. The suspect, 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, is the son of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy and an FSU student, according to police. There do not appear to be any connections between Ikner and any of the victims, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said Thursday. “We will continue to vet that out. We’ll continue to follow the leads that come in, but at this current time, there does not appear to be any connection between the shooter and … even one of the victims,” Revell said.
