“Active Scene,” Florida State University shooter report, “Shell in Shell” order
The shelter notification was lifted shortly after 3pm when LSU notified the community that law enforcement had “neutralized” the threat.
“The (FBI) is on the Florida scene and we are in touch with our agents on the ground. Our priorities are the safety of all involved. We will continue to learn more and update. We will continue to pray for everyone.”
FBI Director Kash Patel said he was briefed on the situation, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed that the department was on the FSU site.
“The FBI is on the FSU site. I’m back from the LA office to DC, but I’m up to date with the airplane situation. I’ll update as I learn more,” Bongino wrote in X’s post.
“At this point, details are still being rolled out and we don’t have any specific information to share specific information yet, but our team wants to ensure our community is ready to provide the highest level of care and support to all affected people.
TMH did not provide information on how many patients or which treatments were administered, citing patient privacy concerns.
