Problem with early reports is that the media is piecing things together from scanner chatter in real time. That and random eyewitness accounts from people who traumatized and in fear.
And unfortunately many want to break some sensational story around a narrative
From a local news source, they're posting live updates:
FSU shooting: Six injured, one critically; man arrested; campus locked down

Condolences to the FSU family.

Enforce gun laws
Put people in jail for a long time for any gun violation
Actually care about mental health and most of this goes away.
What I've heard
1 shooter
1 deceased - possibly 2 or more as well
6 injured, all at TMH - 1 in critical condition
Students being bussed to the Tucker Center
Student Union area is where it happened
Press briefing at 4:30

Now hearing conflicting info
1 shooter arrested and in hospital
2 dead - not students apparently?
Shooter was a student
Few others injured and in surgery, expected to be ok
Don't know what to believe at this stage
Terrible turn of events all around
President briefing at 4:30 (not sure if Trump or FSU president McCoullough)

Hopefully you aren’t getting your info from your conference realignment sources!!!
It looks like it will be at FSU. I think wait for that to happen - other information is way too fluid and incomplete.
Gun laws are in need of a big fix. Not going to happen, though. 'Merica! Sad....
And what gun law would have prevented a sheriff’s deputy son from taking his gun?
There's so much that we don't know about this shooting. But if I am a betting man, addressing mental health is probably a good place to start.
A longtime member of the Leon County Sheriff's Office
Officials said that the alleged gunman was also a longtime member of the Leon County Sheriff's Office Youth Advisory Council. An official said it was not a surprise that he had access to guns and was familiar with them.
Official: FSU gunman acted alone
Officials said it is believed that there was only one gunman in the FSU shooting. There were rumors circulating about the potential of two gunmen. Officials said they believe Ikner acted alone and that there is no more threat to campus.
Sure enough. That and access to weapons, and ammo.
That's the problem. People don't want to enforce existing gun laws. So they want to create more that don't get enforced.
What fix? We don't even enforce the laws we have on the books now. Adding more wont do anything. I’m not a fan of guns, would never own one, but know enough people who do. They are never giving them back. And to be honest, since Covid out government and governments across the globe have done a great illustrating exactly why we need guns.
109 people were shot (19 dead) in Chicago last July 9.
Its not a gun law issue because strong ones get violated all the time by criminals who feel cool .
Gov policies broke families beginning in the 60s and rise in crime went up.
Then the violence and criminality were excused for the perps ("there there its not your fault").
Causes and blame were transferred to others (political motives).
Then a whole entertainment culture loves the gangster vibe and promotes it.
Then kids cant get close to reading and math levels
Then political flames are fanned routinely for selfish reasons
1 in 7 people are on meds.
Society has been made crazy on purpose.
People weren't running around shooting each other during depression

Because don't just wake up and say. Hey, I'm going to kill people today. Signs are missed or ignored. I'm sure we will hear about issues sooner than later.
And he took them from his father
Great job avoiding the question
So I’ll ask again…what law would have prevented this?
I’m sure we will
But for what we know right now…he took the guns from his mother and no law would have prevented that

His mother was a cop. Not his father
Meds thing is crazy. Was at Coachella for a bit this past weekend and saw Green Day. The shorty of a lead singer dedicated a song to all of the people on medication and the entire crowd went crazy. Truly bizarre times.
You can all but guarantee this guy was on some sort of anti depressants or something of the like.
