(NewsNation) — A shooting on the campus of Florida State University has left six people injured, and a suspect is in police custody.
Ryan Cedergren, a junior at FSU, was on campus at the time the shooting started. He said he was at the school’s Student Union building with other students when he saw people starting to run.
“Our immediate thought was ‘This isn’t right, something is going on,” Cedergren said.
Cedergren said he sheltered in the building with everyone else and hid somewhere safer when he saw police on school grounds. He said he understood within a minute that a shooting was occurring.
“It’s unfortunate, but I’ve grown up in this time that school shootings and campus shootings are common enough,” Cedergren said. “I just knew I’d be calm and hide and do what I could.”
Cedergren said once he and the other people in the building were found by police, they were escorted out by police, where he said he saw multiple emergency vehicles and some people being tended to by EMS. He said the incident is something that he believed he needed to be prepared for.
“You never think it’s going to happen to you until it does,” Cedergren said.
A shelter-in-place order is currently in effect on FSU’s campus.
