Graphic Video Shows Multiple Victims Down During Active Shooter Incident at Florida State University in Tallahassee
Florida State University (FSU) has canceled all classes and campus events for the day following reports of an active shooter at the university’s Student Union in Tallahassee.
Law enforcement agencies are on the scene responding to the situation, which has already resulted in multiple injuries.
According to university officials, at least four individuals have been transported to local hospitals with injuries sustained during the incident.
The extent of their injuries has not yet been officially confirmed.
Multiple people who were injured being loaded into ambulances outside the Student Union.
One man was shackled by law enforcement before being taken from the scene.
Disturbing video footage circulating on social media appears to show a victim with a gunshot wound lying outside a campus building.
Authorities have not verified the footage, but it has intensified concerns among students, families, and the broader community.
The initial emergency alert issued by FSU instructed individuals on campus to immediately seek shelter, avoid doors and windows, and prepare to take additional protective actions as necessary.
The alert specifically stated that a shooter had been reported in the vicinity of the Student Union and that police were either already on scene or en route.
In a message posted to the university’s emergency advisory website, officials stated:
“Individuals not already on the main campus at this time should avoid coming to the Tallahassee main campus.”
FSU Police and multiple responding law enforcement agencies are continuing to secure the area and investigate the situation.
Details about the suspect or potential motive have not yet been released.
The university has asked students, faculty, and staff to monitor official channels for updates and to refrain from spreading unverified information.
This remains an active and evolving situation. Additional updates will be provided as more information is confirmed by authorities.
