(NewsNation) — A shooting at Florida State University left two people dead and six injured Thursday.

The suspect in the shooting has been identified as an FSU student, Phoenix Ikner, the 20-year-old son of a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy. Authorities said he used his mother’s old service weapon in the shooting.

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare said it was treating victims with gunshot wounds, and students and faculty were told to shelter in place for several hours after the shooting was first reported.

A multiagency effort comprising of local, state and federal law enforcement were on campus Thursday investigating and responding to the shooting.
