Ikner was shot and captured after confronting police officers. <\/p>\n<p>Physicians at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital said during a news conference Friday that the other victims were expected to recover after suffering injuries such as gunshot wounds to their extremities, chests and abdomens. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were very lucky. Obviously, this was catastrophic, but given the number of students in that compressed area, the recipe for disaster is very scary,&#8221; surgeon Shelby Blank said. <\/p>\n<p>Makeshift memorials were set up on campus near the scene of the shooting. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Being in that situation yesterday, and it being real and not just a drill, was very scary,&#8221; FSU senior Angie Ghanem said. &#8220;I am thankful for law enforcement acting as quick as they could and getting everyone to safety. I just felt that I needed to pay my respects today.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday ordered flags to be flown at half-staff across the state through Monday to honor the victims. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2025 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1136,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
