Officials have identified the son of a sheriff’s deputy as a suspect in the Florida State University shooting that killed two people and wounded several others Thursday.
Phoenix Ikner, 20, accessed one of his mother's weapons — a handgun — that officials said was used in the shooting and matched one of the firearms at the scene, Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil said at a news conference Thursday afternoon.
Officials said that Ikner’s mother had purchased her former service weapons and that it was her personal property at the time of the shooting.

Police said the gunman also had a shotgun but have not yet confirmed whether it was used.
A motive has not been identified.
Ikner is believed to be a student at FSU.
It was not a surprise that Ikner had access to weapon, McNeil said, as he was a member of the sheriff’s office’s citizen advisory or Youth Advisory Council. The Leon County Sheriff’s Office described the council as a way to "provide an open line of communication between the youth of Leon County and local law enforcement" in a news release that announced its the 2021-22 class.
The gunman opened fire near the student union around 11:50 a.m., FSU Police Chief Jason Trumbower said. He shot multiple people before FSU police were able to engage, neutralize and apprehend him.
The shooter is hospitalized with unspecified injuries, police said. Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said in a statement Thursday night that Ikner had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
“This event is tragic in more ways than you people in the audience could ever fathom from a law enforcement perspective,” McNeil said. “But I will tell you this, we will make sure that we do everything we can to prosecute and make sure that we send a message to folks that this will never be tolerated here in Leon County and, I dare say, across this state and across this nation.”
A student who witnessed the gunman approach campus and begin opening fire said the shooter pulled up to campus in an orange Hummer and got out holding a rifle and shooting in her direction.
“I think he was shooting and he missed. So he goes back into his car and grabs a pistol, then he turns and shoots the lady in front of him. That’s when I just started running," McKenzie Heeter, a junior at FSU, told NBC News.
Heeter described the shooter as a “normal college dude.”

Yeah his law enforcement mom was too stupid to lock her guns up. Now her son has killed and injured multiple people and is going to prison for life.
McNeil also described Ikner as a “longstanding member” of the county’s youth advisory council, a group that aims to improve the rapport between local law enforcement and young people in the community.
“He has been steeped in the Leon County Sheriff’s Office family, engaged in a number of training programs, so it’s not a surprise to us that he had access to weapons,” McNeil said. “This event is tragic in more ways than you people in the audience could ever [fathom] from a law enforcement perspective.”
Wow, the racist freak was a junior cop wannabe. Color me surprised ::)

No reason the cops should’ve let him live.

The kid is 20 years old. Do you not think if there wasn’t a gun around he couldn’t have got hold of one?

ProudVirgin69 may be one of the more blindly ignorant people who tries to legitimately contribute to this forum
This dumbass think Luigi Vagione is a hero for ambushing and unsuspecting, unarmed individual. But can't wait to hear blame on the mother of the shooter her because she's retired law enforcement. PV is a typical liberal.
