Good question.
It’s really interesting to see how bad the news plays out.
I work part time at TMH - but full time a few blocks from where this happened.
The building I happened to be in went on lockdown but that lifted over an hour ago.
I’ve talked to a few people including LEO who were in the lobby when I walked in. It was 6 injured, one being critical and 5 other serious. The “shooter” walked out of the the student union with a pistol and started shooting.
I just watched video of a witness. He said there were at least two shooters who positioned themselves at opposite ends of a building to catch victims in a crossfire. He said they were “definitely” working together in a coordinated fashion.
“Someone shooting back, maybe?”
Probabky not...only bad guys allowed to have guns on campus.
From NBC:
One FSU student who saw the shooter described him as a “normal college dude’ who was wearing an orange T-shirt and khaki shorts. “I was walking and this guy pulls up in an orange Hummer,” the student said. “And he gets out with a rifle and shoots in my direction.”

Islamics.
AN ORANGE HUMMER???!?
Those things are KILLERS.
That question is never asked nor answered after any current or recent school shootings!
...”in view of this horrible tragedy, we need more GUN CONTROL and right NOW...!! We need to get those awful assault weapons off the streets immediately...!!!”
wait for it.....3....2....1....
Bad day here..
news was saying 5 dead and 6 in hospital last I heard a few hours ago.
Bkmk
I can tell you from experience. You will wake up tomorrow and for a few minutes, it didn’t happen. When it happened to use, I got dressed and went to campus the next day to just walk around.
Will the press conference have sign language in the lower corner? Will the senior cop have 4 or 5 stars on his/her collar? Will there be a podium or lectern?
Was David Hogg in a classroom?
Friends of my cousin’s kids were in lockdown there — maybe still are
