On April 17, 2025, Florida State University in Tallahassee was rocked by a mass shooting that left two people dead and six others injured. The shooter, 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, a student and son of a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy, used his mother’s legally-owned handgun to carry out the attack near the student union. He was shot by responding officers and remains hospitalized. FSU teacher David Newheiser, who hid during the chaos, shared a viral post lamenting America’s gun laws, writing, “I knew that this is a broken country.” Investigations are ongoing. (PC: KFOR.com)
