The Tallahassee Police Department has confirmed that the Florida State University (FSU) campus is no longer under threat following a mass shooting Thursday.
“The Florida State University campus has been secured,” reads a statement from the agency.
“Multiple law enforcement agencies remain on site for the ongoing investigation. The Student Union and the surrounding area are still considered an active crime scene. Individuals should not return to the area for any reason. Busing is underway to help students reach the reunification point at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.”
The agency also announced that a briefing will be held at 4:30 p.m. and livestreamed on social media pages.
More details about the shooting are expected to be disclosed at the event. Tallahassee Memorial Hospital has confirmed it is treating at least six patients injured in the shooting, including one in critical condition.
The active shooting was reported midday at the FSU Student Union, which is just a mile and a half by foot from the Florida State Capitol.
