The alleged gunman was identified as 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner, Leon County Sheriff Walter McNeil said. Mr Ikner also was shot by police and is in hospital.
Mr McNeil said he is the son of a Leon deputy and one of the guns found at the scene is a former service weapon purchased by the gunman's mother, Jessica Ikner, a school resource office on the force for 18 years.

Every part of that is so unsurprising I could cry laughing.
Totally forgot it was school shooting season.
For those outside the US, April is statistically VERY high for school shootings. Mostly because columbine took place in April and all copycats have since followed.
You're shooting the wrong people.
Careful, the right wing mods here might see this as “uncivil” ;)
They've already banned me several times for my outspoken opinions. I keep resurrecting somehow. As you can easily see this alt account is pretty new from the last ban. As a Canadian I hope I can at a minimum, piss off every one of those assholes who want to invade our country. Getting banned is a badge of honor.
I'm drunk so this might be an unnecessary comment but I wish you safety comrade. I'm an American who is severely worried about the future of their country and honestly your fear is fair. Be safe and stock up on whatever you can. Don't stop being transgressive, all forms of resistance are valuable. I hope what I see in our future does not come to pass.
I see that future as well but it won't stop me. No fear of that. We have a plan and are prepared early for that circumstance. I'm an old man. I've had a good life but I got some kick left in me. As long as I draw breath I will not stop resisting.
As a side note watch that booze friend. Took me decades to quit and your market is about to be flooded with cheaper booze from us not buying. Literally billions of dollars of booze sitting in wearhouses. It's a rough time. Go easy on yourself.
Fuck yeah it is ;) Keep speaking.
In order for them to understand who the "right" people are, they'd need to be able to see the bigger picture. If they could see the bigger picture, they'd realize that they have better options than murder.
There's a point that loops back FYI
Shootings in America. With the frequency, I'm almost surprised it still makes the news.
They rarely do. Gotta hide it apparently
There was one in Dallas yesterday, but no one died, so it probably wasn't even a blip on the news.
"The suspect was a "longstanding member" of the sheriff office's youth advisory council and was engaged in a number of training programmes, Sheriff McNeil said.
"So it is not a surprise that he had access to weapons," he said."
No one ever asks or follows up to ask later .... WHAT MEDICATIONS WERE THEY ON?
The biggest industries in the US is guns and pharmaceuticals .... mix into all that a media landscape and a social media fantasy land of misinformation, disinformation and non-information to make people as angry, upset, scared and frightened as possible.
Pump them up with mind altering medications ... bombard them with misinformation ... then give them a gun
What do you think will happen.
The only thing I ever surprised about all this is that it doesn't happen more often
