"I could have sworn I saw a cop running after somebody and screaming something when we ran out," he said. "Then when I got out, I heard seven to eight gunshots. I'm not sure if that was the shooter shooting or if the cops shot the shooter."

No CEOs were hurt so if the shooter lives you can bet you won't see any terrorism charges for this actual terrorist attack.

The shooter was identified as 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, an FSU student and the son of a Leon County sheriff's deputy. He used a weapon belonging to his mother, a school resource deputy. He was shot by first responders and taken to the hospital.

Reid Seybold, a senior at FSU who was around the corner from the shooting when it unfolded, said he knew Ikner from a political discussion group at Tallahassee State College, where he spent the first two years of his education before he transferred to FSU.
Seybold, the group's president, said Ikner was asked not to return to the group because of views that Seybold said aligned with white supremacy.
"He espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric and far-right rhetoric, as well," Seybold said.
Since then, Seybold said, he has seen Ikner only a couple of times in passing.
The current president of the same club, Riley Pusins, said that at meetings, the suspect advocated for President Donald Trump's agenda and often promoted white supremacist values, even though the club was nonpartisan and was about debate and political discourse.

No better way to demonstrate the dangers of multiculturalism and communism than shooting up a Woke University.

Phoenix Ickiness knew all that at the age of 20? So, he's raised families, bought and sold a home, graduated college, visited communist countries, served in combat or the Peace Corps, read hundreds of books, and came to those hateful conclusions, huh? How did he get this all of that crap in his head and how did he get his mother's pistol? Here's his mother, Deputy Ikner: d.newsweek.com

Full blown MAGA:

Classmates say suspect had white supremacist views

Reid Seybold, a senior at FSU who was around the corner from the shooting when it unfolded, said he knew Ikner from a political discussion group at Tallahassee State College, where he spent the first two years of his education before he transferred to FSU.

Seybold, the group's president, said Ikner was asked not to return to the group because of views that Seybold said aligned with white supremacy.

....

Lucas Luzietti, a junior studying political science, shared a national government class with Phoenix Ikner in 2023 at Tallahassee State College.

He recalled how Ikner shared hateful comments about minorities and denied the 2020 election.

"He espoused the election denialism belief that Joe Biden was not the legitimate president, he said that Rosa Parks was in the wrong, he also talked about how Black people are ruining his neighborhood and Stonewell was bad for society. He would also talk about how multiculturalism is dangerous," Luzietti told NBC News Friday.

"Everyone [in the class] would just look at each other like, Did he really just say that?'" Luzietti recalled. "I got into an argument with him over the legitimacy of the 2020 election because I felt that one was especially dangerous to the fabric of our democracy."

In that class, Ikner had spoken about having a gun.

"He would joke about mass violence. I don't remember specific quotes but I know he would laugh about violence against minorities. And he did talk about how he used guns and had access to them," Luzietti said.

He does appear to fall into Pres Trump's "homegrown" category.

"Send the shooter to el Salvador. No due process required."

The thing is:

Republicans will cheer when Trump does that.

The "Shoot a Man on Fifth Avenue" thing is true.

communism .. ruining America
I'm a leftist. Most of my friends and family are liberals. I've worked on several campaigns.
In 40 years I've met exactly one communist.
There are 340,100,000 Americans. 15,000 are members of the communist party, none of them hold an elected position. 0

When you hear a conservative crying about communists (nearly all of them do it) put one in the chamber. Their tether to reality snapped long ago.
