The gunman who shot three people at Florida State University's library early Thursday before being killed by police was a lawyer who graduated from the school, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The official said the shooter was Myron May, who graduated from Florida State before attending Texas Tech University's law school. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to release the name.

May was fatally shot early Thursday after he shot three people at the Florida State library. Two are hospitalized and one has been released.

Abigail Taunton, who runs a foster home in the Florida Panhandle, told the AP that May had recently been staying at a guest house she owns. She said police interviewed her husband, David, after the shooting.

There was a fourth person “shot” by the lawyer. Another student who skedaddled when the noise started got back to his room and found that the book he was carrying had a bullet in it.

The press mentioned it in this story - something that would NOT have happened even three years ago:

Clearly this is cause for making sure that lawyers are not allowed to own guns.

***the book he was carrying had a bullet in it.***

Interesting point. Years ago I read in the newspaper that Indians would often carry off books from a homestead they raided.
They used the pages to stuff between the leather of their shields as they found it would stop bullets.
