I saw this in my 1440 Daily Digest this morning...
Shooting at Florida State |
At least two people were killed and six others wounded at Florida State University's Tallahassee campus yesterday after a student—identified as the son of a sheriff’s deputy—opened fire near the student union. The two people killed in the attack were not students. Police are still investigating the shooter's motive. Officials identified the suspect as 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, a member of the sheriff's office's youth advisory council, whose mother is a Leon County sheriff’s deputy (see background). He was apprehended after being shot by law enforcement and is hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries as of this writing. The suspect was carrying a shotgun and a handgun, the latter of which was purchased by his mother for personal use. University officials have canceled all classes and campus activities through the weekend. The shooting is the second to occur at FSU since 2014, when a 31-year-old man shot and wounded three people—two students and a library employee—at a university library. He was later shot and killed by police.

Here's what I found after TWO Google searches: each shooter's race
Here's what this snippet boils down to in my mind:
A BLACK man, in 2014, shot and WOUNDED three people.
He was shot and KILLED by police.
A WHITE man, in 2025, shot and KILLED two people.
He was shot by law enforcement and has NON-LIFE-THREATENING injuries.
Just two Google searches. If more people would just look one step further than what's reported, they'd see more truth. They'd start putting pieces of the puzzle together. Take the time to look up what you hear or see. Get more to the picture.
