TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A gunman opened fire at Florida State University, killing two people and wounded at least five others, authorities say. The 20-year-old gunman was the son of a sheriff’s deputy whose former service weapon was used in Thursday’s shooting. The two people who died were not students at the university, but the shooter is believed to be a student, Florida State University Police Chief Jason Trumbower. Five people were being treated at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, Trumbower said, and the shooter was also receiving medical attention. Students and frightened parents hid in a bowling alley and crammed into a freight elevator inside the student union after hearing gunshots outside the building.
