Two people were killed and at least five others were injured in a mass shooting at Florida State University, according to CNN.
Six people were injured in a mass shooting at Florida State University on Thursday, April 17. All six victims sustained gunshot wounds. One of the patients is in critical condition, and five others are in serious condition.
The suspect, according to CNN sources, is in custody.
The severity of the injuries is currently unknown.
FSU Alert, the university's emergency notification system, had previously warned the campus about an "active shooter."
According to CNN, students were evacuated with their hands raised.
Other threats in US
Earlier in April, a Pennsylvania man was charged with threats of assault and murder against US President Donald Trump, other US officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
32-year-old Shawn Monper, a resident of Butler, was charged with threats of assault and murder against the president and other US officials.
According to the federal criminal complaint, on April 8, the FBI's National Threat Division received an urgent alert about threats posted on YouTube by a user named "Mister Satan."
Federal agents established that the threatening comments occurred between January 15 and April 5. Further investigation confirmed that internet activity linked to "Mister Satan" matched Monper's residence.
The investigation also found that Monper applied for a firearm license and obtained it shortly after President Trump’s inauguration.
