AP: FSU gunman ID'd as alumnus Myron May

FSU shooting suspect Myron May

TALLAHASSEE —

A law enforcement official said the gunman who shot three people at Florida State University before being killed by police was a lawyer who graduated from the school.

The official told The Associated Press that the shooter was Myron May, who graduated from FSU before attending Texas Tech University's law school. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to release the name.

May was fatally shot early Thursday after he shot three people at the Florida State library. Two are hospitalized and one has been released.

Classes were canceled Thursday as police investigated on campus.

Tallahassee police said the man opened fire in and outside the Strozier Library on campus about 12:30 a.m. Thursday. Police said they fatally shot the gunman at the campus library as hundreds of others inside fled or took cover in panic.

One witness said she would "never forget the look on his face" as she described the reaction of a student who had just been shot.

"He was wounded, lying on the ground. So that's when we really freaked out," she said.

Two of the students who were shot were hospitalized, and the third suffered a graze wound.

Five officers quickly confronted the gunman outside the building.

"The initial report indicates that as the officers got to the area, they located the gunman near the entrance to the library and he was challenged by those officers to drop his weapon. Instead of complying with their demands, the gunman turned and fired a shot at the officers and they returned fire, killing the suspect," Tallahassee police spokesman Dave Northway said.

The five officers involved and were placed on administrative leave, pending the result of the investigation, officials said.

News conferences were held Thursday, at which officials spoke about the incident.

"We are Seminole family, and when something like this happens we all reach out to grab hold of each other," said Gov. Rick Scott.

"We are all FSU," said Tallahassee Mayor-elect Andrew Gillum. "We ask at this time for continued prayer, prayer for the immediate victims; prayer for those who had to endure this traumatic experience."

While police did not say if the wounded were shot by the gunman, senior Sarah Evans from Miami said she was inside the library and heard a male student say he had been shot. When she looked at him, he was on the ground with blood spreading on his pants leg.

Northway said authorities did not believe there were any other threats related to the incident. Shortly after 4 a.m., a loud tone sounded across the campus followed by an announcement that the campus was "all clear."

Hey now, the worst school shooting was done by an Asian.

Hey now, the worst school shooting was done by an Asian.

The Norwegian shooter Anders Breivik at 77 victims still ranks as the world's worst. Since we don't know what shape, color, or size these whack-jobs will be, it is clear the best option is to allow teachers to carry guns.
