At least six people have been hospitalized after shots were fired at Florida State University in Tallahassee.
“An active shooter has been reported in the area of Student Union. Police are on scene or on the way,” the university announced at 12:01 PM ET. “Continue to seek shelter and await further instructions. Lock and stay away from all doors and windows and be prepared to take additional protective measures.”
Rep. Neal Dunn (R) wrote on X that his team is “monitoring reports of an active shooter on FSU’s campus. It’s too early to understand the extent of the violence, but early reports are very disturbing.”
“Follow all local guidance. Shelter in place. Stay safe,” he wrote. “Thank you to our brave first responders for responding to the situation.”
Tallahassee Memorial Hospital told local outlets that five of the victims are in serious condition and one is in critical condition.
“TMH is actively receiving and caring for patients related to an incident that has occurred at Florida State University,” the hospital said in the statement. “We want to assure the community that our teams are fully mobilized and prepared to provide the highest level of care and support to all those affected.”
Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said, “Our prayers are with our FSU family and state law enforcement is actively responding.”
President Donald Trump said from the Oval Office: “I’ve been briefed on the Florida State University, Tallahassee active shooting…It’s a shame. It’s a horrible thing. It’s horrible that things like this take place. We’ll have more to say about it later.”
This is a developing story.
