Florida State University's athletics department has decided to cancel all events through Sunday, April 20, in response to an active shooter incident that occurred on campus. Following the unfortunate event on Thursday, where at least six individuals were injured, a suspect is currently in custody. The incident took place at Florida State's campus in Tallahassee, Florida.
Among the affected events are the cancellation of the Seminoles' baseball series opener against Virginia at Dick Howser Stadium on Thursday and the softball game versus Georgia Tech at the Seminole Softball Complex on Friday. All home events scheduled by Florida State athletics through Sunday have been called off, with updates for next week's events to be provided in due course. The decision to cancel rather than postpone these events may suggest that they will not be rescheduled at a later time.
The university is monitoring the situation closely and will inform stakeholders about any further changes to the athletics schedule as soon as information becomes available. The safety and well-being of all students, staff, and visitors remain a top priority for Florida State University during this challenging time.
