What to Know About the Florida State University Shooting 

An unknown number of people were taken to a hospital after a shooting at Florida State University (FSU) campus on Thursday, April 17.

A spokesperson for Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare told The Associated Press that the hospital can’t confirm the number of people being treated at the hospital. Around noon, FSU issued an alert for an active shooter reported near the student union. The university sent out additional alerts, advising the campus community to continue sheltering in place and that law enforcement officers had responded to the scene.

At 1:04 p.m., FSU said in an alert that authorities are “actively clearing rooms on the main campus” and that people on campus should continue sheltering in place until authorities contact them.

This isn’t the first time the university has experienced a shooting. In 2014, a gunman shot three people at a library near the center of the FSU campus. He was killed by police in a shootout outside the library.
