mass shooting

Attorneys for the family of Tiru Chabba, who was killed during a mass shooting at FSU, are calling for more information.

During a ceremony before people were let in, FSU President Richard McCullough said his administration decided to reopen the building after speaking with hundreds of students.

It's been about a week and a half since a gunman opened fire on campus, killing two and injuring six others. Some students say the effort to clean up the memorials is too soon. But university officials say they aren't trying to make the memorials disappear. They're trying to preserve them.

“Our hearts go out to the Morales and Chabba families, along with the other victims who continue to grapple with this senseless and horrific tragedy.”

Campus reopened Monday, but university officials say they’re working to offer flexibility for students who aren’t yet ready to return. The mandatory attendance policy is waived, and instructors are working to offer many classes online.

For some, like Olivia Washinski, the idea of heading back to the classroom feels nerve-wracking.“It’s a little more intimidating to think about finishing the semester and going back to class," Washinksi says. "I haven’t opened my computer because I don’t know how it’s going to make me feel, but I still have exams to study for, so I have to face that reality at some point.”

Physicians at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital say the remaining victims are expected to recover.

Thousands of people attended a vigil at Florida State University Friday to honor the two people killed and others injured in a mass shooting on the college campus the day before.

FSU is closed today, but events are taking place on campus following Thursday’s mass shooting that left two people dead and six injured. The alleged gunman is hospitalized.

Two people were killed and six were injured Thursday after the accused shooter, the son of a Leon County deputy, opened fire around lunchtime at the FSU student union.
