On April 17, 2025, a mass shooting occurred on the campus of Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee, Florida, United States. Two university employees were killed and six others wounded in an attack lasting approximately three minutes near and inside the Student Union building, just before noon. The two people killed were Robert Morales, 57, the campus dining director, and Tiru Chabba, 45, a regional vice president at Aramark Collegiate Hospitality. Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old FSU student, was shot in the jaw by campus police and taken into custody. A Glock 21 handgun belonging to his stepmother, a Leon County Sheriff's deputy, was used in the attack; a shotgun also found at the scene had not been fired. Ikner, born Christian Gunnar Eriksen, was a dual American-Norwegian citizen who had experienced a turbulent childhood marked by a bitter parental custody dispute that included an international abduction by his biological mother. He later espoused white supremacist and far-right views and was removed from a political group at Tallahassee State College.
