TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Phoenix Ikner, the suspect in the April 17 mass shooting at Florida State University, has been released from the hospital and transported to a detention facility, according to the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD). Ikner had been hospitalized for nearly a month after being shot by responding officers during the incident.
Due to Ikner's step-mother being a Leon County Sheriff deputy, he has been transferred to a detention facility in Wakulla County.
The shooting left 6 people wounded and claimed the lives of 2 individuals. Ikner now faces two counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder. His first court is scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, at 11 a.m.
