President Trump said Thursday a shooting at Florida State University that killed two people was “terrible” and a “shame,” but suggested he’s unlikely to back any new gun control measures — saying he’s a “big advocate of the Second Amendment.”

    The alleged gunman has been identified as 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, an FSU student who is the son of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy, Leon County Sheriff Walter McNeil said at the briefing.

    Investigators say the suspect used his mother’s former service weapon, now owned by her as a personal handgun, which was found at the scene. They said he was also armed with a shotgun.

    “Unfortunately her son had access to one of her weapons,” Sheriff McNeil said. He also said that the alleged shooter was a longstanding member of the Leon County Sheriff’s Office citizen advisory or youth advisory council and engaged in a number of their training programs. He had “been steeped in the Leon County Sheriff Office’s family,” the sheriff said.

    Police said the two people killed in the shooting were not students. The victims’ names have not been released.
