FSU Shooting: Famous Sports Alumni say after fatal shooting

The fatal campus filming at Florida State University on Thursday shocked the country.

Several former Star Florida athletes spoke out in support of fellow Seminoles after at least two people were killed and at least six others injured.

The sad former FSU athletes included Liv Golf Star Brooks Koepka, NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Jared Verse, former Seminole star quarterback and current New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis.

Authorities say the shooting began around 11:50am, the two were not FSU students.

During a press conference Thursday afternoon, authorities identified the alleged shooter as 20-year-old Phoenix Echner, a student at the school.

Ichner was taken to hospital after being “neutralized” by the authorities. Police also said his mother was a sheriff's aide in the Leon County Sheriff's Office and added that Ichner used his mother's weapon in the murder.

FSU said all classes have been cancelled until Friday and the athletic event in Tallahassee has been cancelled until the weekend.

“All Florida athletics home events until Sunday, April 20th have been cancelled,” the statement said. “A further updates to events scheduled for next week will be notified when available.”

FSU President Richard McCullough issued a statement on the X, calling the shooting “tragic and pointless acts of violence.”

Cancellations include the school's seventh-ranked baseball team's three-game series against Virginia from Thursday, and the final home series for the regular season fourth softball team against Georgia Tech from Friday.

School's final two spring soccer practices have also been cancelled.

“There will be more updates in the next few days, and more time to reflect and heal. But now we will grieve together,” the president said. “We leaned against each other, and we remember who we are. We are Florida. We are family. And we stand together.”
