At least two people were killed in a firearm attack at the State University of Florida. Two victims are dead and six people were in a hospital with gunshot wounds, the police said in Tallahassee on Thursday. The injured person is also the alleged shooter, which is said to be the son of a police officer. This was temporarily arrested. The suspect did not follow the instructions of the police when arrested and was shot, as the chief of police from Tallahassee, Lawrence Revell, told CNN. The alleged perpetrator is 20 years old and himself a student at the State University of Florida, said the sheriff of the local district. The young man had access to a weapon of his mother found on campus. Nothing is currently known about the possible motifs of the perpetrator. Students from the Florida State University are waiting for news after shots were made on the campus of the school in Tallahassee, Florida. Eyewitnesses spoke to local media of chaotic scenes in Tallahassee. Many people would have left the Studentenwerk on campus. According to the police, various units tried to secure the State University of Florida. President Donald Trump called the news from Florida “terrible”. However, it was “not the weapon that shoots – it is the people,” he emphasized that the President of the State University of Florida, Richard McCullough, described the attack, according to CNN, as a “tragic day” for the community of the university. “We are deeply sad about the violence that has occurred on our campus today,” he said at a press conference.
