FSU Shooter Hospitalized; Campus Protests Erupt

News summary

Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old Florida State University student, was shot in the jaw by campus police after allegedly killing two people and injuring five others during a mass shooting on April 17. The victims killed were Tiru Chabba, a campus vendor employee, and Robert Morales, a dining services employee, while all five injured victims have been released from the hospital. Ikner remains hospitalized with significant injuries but is expected to survive, and he will be formally charged, possibly including first-degree murder, upon his release. Ikner reportedly used a former service weapon belonging to his stepmother, a Leon County Sheriff's deputy, and has a history of physical and mental health issues. The motive remains unclear, as Ikner has not spoken with police, and the investigation is ongoing. In response to the shooting, FSU students have held protests demanding action against white supremacists on campus.
