This comes only days after the son of a Leon County Sheriff’s deputy, identified as Phoenix Ikner, killed two people at Florida State University and wounded six others. The 20-year-old was shot by officers and taken into custody.
According to officials, he had access to his mother's weapons. “He has been steeped in the Leon County Sheriff’s family, engaged in a number of training programs that we have ... so it’s not a surprise to us that he had access to weapons,” Leon County Sheriff Walter McNeil said at a press conference.
