At least five people have been killed in a horror mass shooting at Florida State University’s Tallahassee’s campus.

According to reports from the police, two gunmen began shooting near the campus’ student union on Thursday around midday. One suspect was apprehended by authorities, while the other was fatally shot by the police. The identities of the suspects have not yet been disclosed.

At least four others are injured, and the Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare Hospital said at least one victim was in critical condition. 

A witness on the scene told WFTV they saw a college-aged man exit the student union with a handgun, and another witness told the Tallahassee Democrat that they’d heard what sounded like ‘automatic gunfire.’ 

Sickening footage circulated social media showed a victim being carried to safety by paramedics as panic set in across the campus. 

Sources told WFTV that cops killed one of the gunmen on campus, with a huge law enforcement presence descending on the scene as the FBI said it has joined the investigation. 

Locals have been urged to stay inside, lock their doors and stay away from windows as the campus has been placed under strict lockdown.

First responders were seen carrying a victim into an ambulance, with officials saying at least four people were hospitalized in the shooting 

Several witnesses took to social media to share clips of students fleeing and seeking shelter, with others showing food, picnic blankets and bags that were left on a lawn after students scrambled to safety. 

One student shared chilling footage from inside a classroom where people were cowering in fear under desks. 

A person could be heard bashing on the door multiple times yelling ‘open up’, but the terrified students were seen remaining silent and not moving in response. 

Images showed concerned students and faculty trying to call loved ones on campus, and Florida State University said Thursday afternoon that all classes and events were cancelled for the day. 

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare said it was treating at least four victims and was ‘fully mobilized and prepared to provide the highest level of care and support to all those affected.’ 

As the campus remained under lockdown Thursday afternoon, a car was reportedly found by police with a weapon inside that authorities believe was owned by a gunman. 

Several firearms including a shotgun and pistol have reportedly been seized by police, and one suspect was arrested with a weapon on them, police said.

FSU senior Will Schatz told the Tallahassee Democrat he was in the Strozier Library when he saw his fellow students racing from the building. 

‘I could have sworn I saw a cop running after somebody and screaming something when we ran out,’ he said. ‘Then when I got out, I heard seven to eight gunshots. I’m not sure if that was the shooter shooting or if the cops shot the shooter.’ 

It is not the first time the FSU Tallahassee campus has been hit with a mass shooting, with an alumnus shooting an employee and two students in the Strozier Library in November 2014. The shooter was killed by officers. 

The Tallahassee Fire Department has taken control of the campus, and the Leon County Sheriff’s Office said it had deployed a helicopter to survey the area. 

Leon County School District buildings, which sit close to the campus, have also been placed on lockdown. 

The FBI said Thursday afternoon it was responding to the scene to aid the investigation.
