The Florida State University (FSU) shooting suspect is the son of a sheriff’s deputy and a member of the law enforcement community’s youth advisory council, police indicated Thursday afternoon.
Police indicated that the 20-year-old alleged shooter’s mother is a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy. He somehow accessed his mother’s firearms and used at least one of her guns in the attack. Police are continuing to look at what other firearms he was able to access.
The suspected shooter’s mother is a school resource officer.
Police emphasized that he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law in order to make clear that such actions will not be tolerated.
Breitbart News reported that the suspect was taken into custody approximately an hour after shots rang out on the Florida State University campus.
During the Thursday afternoon press conference, police indicated that two people died as a result of the attack and that the deceased were not FSU students.
