The suspect in the Florida State University shooting shared white supremacist views with concerned classmates before yesterday’s attack that killed two people and injured six others, it is claimed.

Seybold, the group’s president, told NBC Ikner had been asked to leave because “he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric and far-right rhetoric”.

The alleged gunman was identified as 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner, Leon County Sheriff Walter McNeil said. Mr Ikner also was shot by police and is in hospital.

Mr McNeil said he is the son of a Leon deputy and one of the guns found at the scene is a former service weapon purchased by the gunman's mother, Jessica Ikner, a school resource office on the force for 18 years.

Funny a cop would raise a racist

Interesting how many of these shooters share these views. Almost like we should do something about that.

The article is short, but more context on "the group":

Following the attack, a classmate at Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, claimed to a local news outlet how the suspect was told to leave a “political round table” club over far-right views he shared.

Reid Seybold said: “He [Ikner] espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric, and far-right rhetoric as well, to the point where we had to exercise that rule.”
