At least six people have been hospitalized after an active shooter opened fire on Florida State University’s Tallahassee campus Thursday.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, footage shows police officers apprehending the suspected gunman on the ground, shortly after students fled the student union around noon.
Onlookers described a male exiting the student union brandishing a handgun, with one witness relaying to the outlet that they heard what sounded like “automatic gunfire.”
Shortly after the shots rang out, students received an alert directing them to seek shelter, informing them that police were either present or responding.
One of the victims has been listed in critical condition, while five others are said to be in serious condition. NBC News reports that the FBI is on-site as campus, city, and state officials gather at the location, according to a bureau spokesperson.
Officials at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Hospital have not shared any information about the victims, and the suspected gunman’s identity has yet to be revealed.
The story is developing. Check back for updates.
