WASHINGTON (AA) - At least one person was killed in a shooting Thursday at Florida State University's campus in the city of Tallahassee.

One person is in custody in connection to the shooting, according to the reports, citing the Tallahassee Police Department.​​​​​​​

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

At least six people were receiving treatment at the Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, according to local media.

President Donald Trump said he has been briefed on the active shooting. "It's a shame. It’s a horrible thing …We'll have more to say about it later," he told reporters.

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," it said.

Later, the university said law enforcement has "neutralized the threat."

"Please avoid the Student Union, Bellamy, HCB Classroom Building, Rovetta A&B, Moore Auditorium, Shaw, Pepper, Hecht House and Carraway as they are still considered an active crime scene. Individuals are free to move about other areas of campus," it said.

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.
