What are the latest updates on the Florida State University shooting?

Cabot Phillips 0:43
A mass shooting at Florida State University has several people injured and some feared dead. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips is there on FSU campus now and has the latest.

Who is the suspect in the Florida State University shooting and what is known about the incident?

Cabot Phillips 0:54
Yeah, scary scene here in Tallahassee. I happen to have an event scheduled at FSU today. I was just arriving to campus when we started hearing sirens and helicopters and police began frantically shutting down streets. We later learned that moments earlier, a gunman had opened fire outside of the student union. This is a breaking story, so details are still emerging. But at the moment, police say at least two people are dead, while six more have been hospitalized. The shooter, who is 20 years old and the son of a sheriff's deputy, is in custody after being shot. It's not clear if he was struck by police or if the wound was self-inflicted. Police say they recovered a shotgun and handgun. Another firearm was also found in the suspect's vehicle.

Donald Trump 2:09
I don't think he's doing the job. He's too late, always too late, a little slow, and I'm not happy with him. I let him know it, and if I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast, believe me.

One source told the Post that it would be a horrible place to go off the road because the canyon is right off the shoulder. The source added that it has concrete tunnels that run underneath the highway, and we have load sensors there because illegal aliens hide under it and then get picked up by a load vehicle.
