As Ilana Badiner took shelter in the student union during the Florida State University shooting on Thursday, she remembers thinking “I kind of knew the drill already.” Seven years ago, Badiner was an eighth grader at the middle school adjacent to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the shooting that killed 17 people in Parkland, Florida. “I’ve been through this before. It was a similar situation,” Badiner, 21, told CNN. Now a senior at FSU, Badiner was attending a bowling class on the ground floor of the student union Thursday when a shooter opened fire near the building, killing two people and injuring six others before he was shot and taken into custody by police. It marked the sixth mass shooting in Florida and the 81st mass shooting in the United States in 2025, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The bowling area has big glass doors and windows that face an open area where students can grab food or study. Through the windows, Badiner started to see students sprinting to the bathrooms and hallways and leaving behind their belongings.
