Chaos erupted today at Florida State University after a mass shooting left six people injured—one of them in critical condition.

It happened in broad daylight near the school’s bustling student union—a place typically packed with students grabbing food or prepping for finals.

Police say the suspect, who is now in custody, was armed with multiple weapons, including a handgun, a shotgun found inside the union, and another firearm discovered in the car. The suspect was also reportedly shot, though it's unclear by whom.

As of this report, FSU remains under a shelter-in-place order. Law enforcement is sweeping buildings. Students are being urged to call loved ones and stay away from the area. Classes and all events are canceled through tomorrow.

This marks Florida's sixth mass shooting this year alone, according to the Gun Violence Archive. There have been at least 30 in the state each year over the past five years.
