FSU gunman used deputy mom’s former service weapon, authorities say

Phoenix Ikner, 20, used his mother’s former service weapon to open fire at FSU, killing two and injuring six. Authorities shot and wounded Ikner at the scene. The shooter, a longtime member of the sheriff’s youth program, reportedly accessed the weapon from home. The motive remains unclear. Ikner was shot by police and remains hospitalized. The victims included non-students, and panic ensued on campus as students sheltered in place. Ikner, once involved in a youth sheriff’s program, had no clear motive. President Trump called the shooting tragic but opposed new gun legislation. Classes and events have been canceled, and the incident has shocked the campus community.
