Questions emerge about how a deputy’s stepson became the accused gunman in deadly FSU shooting

  • A shooting at Florida State University left two people dead and six injured, with 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner arrested as the shooter, according to police reports.
  • Ikner is the son of Leon County Deputy Jessica Ikner and used a former service weapon owned by her during the attack, as noted by Sheriff Walt McNeil.
  • Investigators have not revealed a motive for the shooting, and Ikner has exercised his right not to speak to police, according to Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell.
  • Students reported Ikner espoused 'white supremacist and far-right rhetoric' prior to the shooting, which led to his expulsion from a group, as stated by Reid Seybold.
