WASHINGTON (AA) - An active shooter has been reported Thursday at Florida State University's campus in Tallahassee.

"An active shooter has been reported in the area of Student Union," the school said on X.

"Police are on scene or on the way. Continue to seek shelter and await further instructions. Lock and stay away from all doors and windows and be prepared to take additional protective measures," it added.

At least six people are being treated at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, according to the media reports.

The FBI said it is responding and assisting local law enforcement partners.

The school advised everyone to continue to shelter in place.

"All classes and university events including athletics events scheduled for Thursday, April 17, 2025, have been cancelled. Individuals not already on the main campus at this time should avoid coming to the Tallahassee main campus," it said.

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said her heart breaks for the students, their families and faculty.

"There is no place in American society for violence. Our entire nation is praying for the victims and their families," she wrote on X.
