CAMPUS HORROR: FSU Gunman Phoenix Ikner, Son of Sheriff’s Deputy, Kills Two Using Mother’s Weapon, Whispers ‘They Made Me…’ in Chilling Mystery…

Florida State University (FSU) plunged into chaos 24 hours ago when 20-year-old student Phoenix Ikner, son of Leon County Sheriff’s Deputy Jessica Ikner, unleashed a deadly rampage near the Student Union, killing two and injuring six. Armed with his mother’s former service handgun and a shotgun, Ikner was shot by police and hospitalized with non-life-threatening wounds. His cryptic words before the carnage—“I don’t know. They made me…”—have left investigators and a shattered community grappling for answers.

Sheriff Walter McNeil, voice heavy with grief, confirmed Ikner, a political science major and Youth Advisory Council member, accessed his mother’s legally purchased pistol. “Jessica’s service has been exceptional,” McNeil said, defending the 18-year veteran. “But her son had her weapon.” The FBI and ATF swarmed the Tallahassee campus, probing how Ikner, steeped in law enforcement culture, turned a trusted tool into a harbinger of death. “This is tragic beyond comprehension,” McNeil told reporters, vowing justice.

Witnesses described sheer terror as shots rang out at 11:50 a.m. Student Ben Veytsman saw a man fleeing, shouting, “There’s a shooter!” Cole Summers, grabbing lunch, sprinted from gunfire, heart pounding. “It felt like a nightmare,” he told Fox News. The victims, non-students, remain unnamed, their loss mourned by FSU President Richard McCullough. “We are a family,” he declared, canceling classes through April 18.

Ikner’s motive remains a chilling enigma. Social media whispers tied him to far-right views, with a now-deleted Instagram quoting a violent Bible verse: “With you, I shatter nations.” Yet, he’s silent, invoking his right not to speak. Governor Ron DeSantis demanded swift justice, while President Donald Trump called it “horrible.” As Tallahassee reels, students shelter in fear, and a mother’s badge is tarnished by her son’s bloodstained hands. Will Ikner’s whispered excuse unravel the truth, or bury it forever? The campus holds its breath…
