Florida State University has canceled all on-campus sports events, including spring football practices and a baseball series against Virginia, following an on-campus shooting that resulted in two fatalities and at least six injuries. The shooter, believed to be a student, used a former sheriff's deputy's service weapon in the incident. The university police chief confirmed that the deceased individuals were not students at the institution. An alert was issued, prompting a campus-wide lockdown, with classes canceled through Friday and all athletic activities suspended until Sunday.
The campus community was disrupted by the tragic event, leading to the suspension of various sporting events, such as softball games against Georgia Tech and women's golf and track tournaments. Despite these cancellations, the men's tennis team proceeded with their scheduled match in Louisville. Florida State University is actively working to manage the aftermath of the shooting as investigations continue.
