Two people were killed in the recent Florida State University (FSU) campus shooting at the student union, and several others were injured but survived.

What happened at FSU?

News outlets and official briefings describe a mass shooting at Florida State University’s student union in April 2025.

Law enforcement reported that two victims were killed and around six to seven others were injured, including the suspected shooter, who was shot by responding officers and hospitalized.

Most reports agree on this core fact:

  • Two people died at the scene or shortly after.
  • Six others were initially reported hospitalized (five with gunshot wounds and one injured while fleeing), with all expected to survive.

Clarifying “how many dead at FSU”

If your question “how many dead at FSU” refers to this widely reported 2025 student union shooting, the current public reporting is:

  • Number of people killed: 2.

Authorities also stated that the two people who died were not FSU students.

Because campus tragedies and individual deaths (for example, isolated student deaths in dorms discussed on local forums) also occur, it’s important to note:

  • The “two dead, six injured” figure is specifically for the April 2025 mass shooting at the student union.
  • Separate incidents (such as individual student deaths mentioned in FSU or Tallahassee forums) are not counted in that mass‑shooting total.

Mini timeline of the FSU shooting

  • April 17, 2025 (local time): Shooter opened fire near/inside the Florida State University student union.
  • Shortly after: Campus alerts went out and the campus entered lockdown.
  • Later that day: Police confirmed two dead and multiple injured; suspect in custody and hospitalized.
  • Following days: Vigils were held on campus and more details on victims emerged; all injured victims were reported in stable condition and expected to recover.

Different incident types at FSU

There has also been discussion online about individual student deaths on or near campus unrelated to this shooting, such as:

  • A reported death of a student in a dorm (Southgate) discussed on the /r/fsu subreddit.
  • Other past incidents involving FSU students mentioned in local Tallahassee forums.

These are separate from the student union shooting and have their own circumstances and counts.
