Florida State University Shooting: A video from the Florida State University shooting incident emerged on Friday, showing a woman casually sipping coffee while recording a victim lying on the ground.
The mass shooting incident, allegedly carried out by the son of a local deputy sheriff, left two people dead and several others injured, with many undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
The video, shared on X by Collin Rugg, suggests that the woman, a victim of the shooting incident, appeared to be safe, with other footage showing her receiving medical attention.
The woman who was walked by and filmed by an individual who was sipping a Starbucks latte during a sh**ting at Florida State University appears to be alive.Thank goodness.

The southeastern US state authorities said the gunman, identified as Phoenix Ikner, rampaged through Florida State University, shooting at students before he was shot and injured by local law enforcement.
The campus went into lockdown after the shooting incident, said officials, adding that the students were instructed to take shelter in an isolated place as first responders quickly arrived at the scene to tackle the situation.
Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil told reporters that Ikner, 20, was a university student and the son of an “exceptional" 18-year member of his staff.
“Unfortunately, her son had access to one of her weapons, and that was one of the weapons that was found at the scene," McNeil said.
He added that the suspect was part of Sheriff’s Office training programs, meaning “it’s not a surprise to us that he had access to weapons." Ikner was taken to hospital after being shot. His condition was not immediately known.
Further investigation into the matter is underway.
