“Unfortunately, her son had access to one of her weapons, and that was one of the weapons that was found at the scene. We are continuing that investigation into how that weapon was used and what other weapons, perhaps, he may have had access to," McNeil said.
Social media users posted screenshots of an FSU News article, where a political science major, Phoenix Ikner, was at an anti-Trump protest. Officials have not confirmed if he was the suspected gunman.
“These people are usually pretty entertaining, usually not for good reasons. I think it’s a little too late, he’s [Trump] already going to be inaugurated on Jan. 20 and there’s not really much you can do unless you outright revolt, and I don’t think anyone wants that," Ikner told the publication back in January.
Reacting to these claims, one social media user wrote: “Phoenix Ikner had attended anti Israel and Trump protests. The campus knew who he was. Just another brainwashed youth of the DNC."
