Tallahassee Police Chief Michael DeLeo confirmed the identity Thursday afternoon of the suspect in the shooting at Florida State University.
Tallahassee officials have confirmed Myron May is their suspect in a shooting at Florida State’s main library. May was shot and killed by police after allegedly firing at officers responding to the scene. Chief DeLeo says May was a Florida State graduate who returned to the area less than a month ago.
Mr. May had a written journal and videos where he expressed fears of being targeted and that he wanted to bring attention to this issue of targeting. A preliminary review of these documents and videos demonstrate that Mr. May was in a state of crisis.
Two students and an employee of the university were injured before the police arrived. Officials say classes will resume Friday, and the library will be open.
