Armed Attack at Florida University: Six Injured
An unknown assailant opened fire on campus. The suspect was detained; two pistols and a shotgun were confiscated. The university is under heightened security.
An incident involving gunfire occurred on the grounds of a Florida university attended by over 45,000 students. An unidentified individual opened fire on campus, injuring six people. Police responded swiftly, detaining the suspect. Two pistols and a shotgun were found during the search. The shooter's identity has not yet been disclosed, and the investigation continues.
The university had previously faced a similar incident eleven years ago. Following the latest shooting, the administration canceled classes for the coming days and implemented enhanced security measures. Additional police and security forces are patrolling the campus.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated he is closely monitoring the situation. Sources report that the White House is maintaining constant communication with local authorities and law enforcement. An official statement from the administration is expected soon.
Local residents were alerted through emergency notifications. Police have urged students and staff to remain calm and follow safety instructions. Support hotlines have been set up for the families of the victims.
Preliminary data suggests the shooting was targeted. However, investigators are continuing to determine the attacker’s motives. Specialists have begun analyzing the suspect's digital activity, including social media and search history.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security urgently dispatched representatives to assist in coordinating the investigation. The incident has reignited discussions on the need for stricter gun control measures in the country.
University officials extended condolences to those affected and pledged to take all necessary actions to ensure future safety. A comprehensive review of current security procedures will also be conducted.
Federal and local authorities emphasized that the investigation is under the direct supervision of national leadership. Immediate measures will be taken if additional threats are identified.
Experts note that the Florida tragedy has once again highlighted the issue of gun violence in U.S. educational institutions. They argue that both enhanced security measures and comprehensive legislative reforms on gun sales are necessary.
A press conference by law enforcement representatives is expected soon to provide new details of the investigation. As of the morning of April 18, the condition of the injured is reported as stable, with some already discharged from hospitals.
The investigation continues, and any new developments will be promptly shared with the public. A heightened security regime remains in place at the university until all emergency measures are concluded. Authorities report no further threats at this time.
