by

Thursday’s fatal shooting at Florida State University touched some nerves here in Rockland, including those of the county executive. Ed Day told “The Morning Show” Friday his daughter is a student at the school and for about an hour he and his wife, Donna, didn’t know whether she was ok or not…

Two were killed and six others injured in the shooting. University Police shot the suspect and took him into custody. He’s been identified as 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, the son of a local sheriff’s deputy and a student at FSU, though CNN reported there did not appear to be any connection between him or the victims. Ikner was seriously injured and will remain hospitalized until he can be taken to a local jail. He’s expected to face several charges “up to and including first degree murder.”
