BREAKING: Three Shot By Gunman In Florida State University Library
Several minutes ago we were made aware of a shooting on the campus of Florida State University. Early reports state that two people were shot in the university’s Strozier Library and the school has locked down the dormitories and a second campus library.
Students have been tweeting pictures, reports, and condolences throughout the last hour.

The gunman was in the lobby and I was sitting in the 1st floor Starbucks. The entire 1st floor went into chaos. I can't believe this

A YouTube video has already emerged of students huddled between rows of bookshelves. A man can be heard speaking over the intercom, announcing a shooting in the library and requesting students to stay put and only contact authorities should they have a victim or valuable information.
There are conflicting reports on the status of the gunman. Some, such as FSUNews.com, are reporting that the gunman is in police custody. However, some social media users claim he was shot and killed by police.

It’s a shame he didn’t kill jameis
11 years ago at 9:41 amShut the fuck up.
11 years ago at 9:43 amTFM, please take down the CNN interview. It took less than 4 minutes for the 2 women to start preaching gun control. Praying for the Seminoles, this is not a time for politics. Thank You.
11 years ago at 9:44 amWait, I thought FSU was a gun-free zone?
11 years ago at 9:47 amWhy the fuck does this article have any “nice moves” at fucking all?
11 years ago at 9:59 amWe don’t say this enough, but thank God for those campus police.
11 years ago at 10:19 amMy thoughts and prayers go out to all involved, but I can’t help but hold Tallahassee police partially responsible. When you routinely let people get away with things like shooting pellet guns at people and rape, it’s only a matter of time before someone takes it too far.
11 years ago at 9:54 pmWord has it he was in a fraternity as FSU. Can anyone confirm?
11 years ago at 8:53 amNot sure why I got downvoted. Several news outlets alluded to his time at FSU and mentioned he was in a fraternity. I simply wanted to know if it was a social fraternity, or some honor or community based fraternity, because you know how the news is.
