Oh, what a fucked up world we live in that we see a school shooting as “not so bad, all things considered”…

That pistol he grabbed from the vehicle...

...was his Mom's old service pistol.

His Mom was a school resource officer and later deputized into the Leon County Sheriffs.

In a news conference hours after the first reports of the active shooting were announced, Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil identified the suspect.

"The shooter is 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner ... and he is the son of a Leon County sheriff's deputy," McNeil said.

...

According to Revell during the news conference, Jessica Ikner [the shooter's mother] is a school resource officer in Leon County. The county sheriff's office website lists her as a "middle schools deputy."

Deputy Ikner was awarded law enforcement employee of the month in March 2024, the sheriff's office posted on Facebook.

...

[The Shooter] was "a long-standing member" of the Leon County Sheriff's Office Youth Advisory Council, McNeil said during the news conference.

"He has been steep in the Leon County Sheriff's Office Family," McNeil said, adding that it is "not a surprise" that Ikner had access to weapons.

Jessica Ikner, a beloved Raa Middle School student resource deputy, was the 2023 law enforcement officer of the year with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.

She also practiced shooting with her stepson, Phoenix, at a firing range, but “not in an official capacity,” according to LCSO.

Yeah so this guy was trained to shoot by his armed-with-a-firearm, middle school guard / county deputy mom, and he then took his mom's service pistol to shoot up his own school/uni.

I can't find more details on the shotgun, but it could also be the case that that is or was a service weapon as well... but that is barely informed speculation on my part, I just know that a lot of US cops also have a shotgun in their cruiser.

If that happened in my country it would be huge news and all anyone in the country would talk about for weeks.

Local law enforcement was having a training session very close by. That and the fact the shooter was the son of a Sherrif deputy are the reasons you could hear them blowing themselves over their fast response the whole time. Not that the fucker was putting up all the red flags for fucking years while being heavily involved in local law enforcement and constantly around guns.

"We need Jesus in schools!"

No joke, I've heard people say that exact thing in response. That taking God out of schools is what started all this, so if there was more prayer in school, we wouldn't have shootings.

Yeah, because nobody does mass shootings in religious places.

The poor kid was clearly driven insane by the wokeness surrounding them. Better ban pronouns.

And he killed with her gun. Twice as bad. Send her to prison for unvoluntary manslaughter.
