Florida State University’s campus became a deadly crime scene just before noon on April 17, as a student opened fire, killing two people and injuring six others before he was shot and apprehended by law enforcement officers.

Students were invited to a “Gathering of Unity Vigil” in front of the university’s landmark Unconquered Statue at 5 p.m. on April 18 to mourn the victims and support those affected by the incident.
