Florida State University has experienced tragic gun violence in its history, particularly highlighted by a 2014 shooting when a gunman opened fire in the Strozier Library, injuring two students and a library employee, with one student left paralyzed. This incident caused widespread panic among students and staff, although security measures were credited for preventing further casualties. Recently, the university reached a settlement with the injured student, indicating the long-term impacts of such violence on victims and the campus community.
In 2014, a gunman shot three people at a library on campus before he was killed by the police.
The gunman had reloaded once before he was killed by police outside the library building, authorities said at the time.
The police chief credited security measures in preventing more bloodshed after the 2014 shooting incident.
In 2019, Florida State University and the injured student, Farhan Ahmed, reached a $1 million settlement.
