Florida State gunman used deputy mom's former service weapon to kill 2 and wound 6, authorities say TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Investigators say the 20-year-old son of a sheriff’s deputy opened fire at Florida State University with his mother’s former service weapon, killing two people and wounding at least six others. Officers who arrived almost immediately shot and wounded the shooter.
He's believed to be a Florida State student. Police identified the shooter as Phoenix Ikner. They say he began firing around lunchtime just outside the student union, sending frightened students and parents hiding for cover in a bowling alley and a freight elevator inside the building.
