Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old suspect in a tragic shooting at Florida State University, reportedly learned to handle firearms from his stepmother, a deputy in the Leon County Sheriff's Office. Following the incident, which resulted in two deaths and injuries to six others, the deputy took a leave of absence. Family connections and access to firearms are under scrutiny as authorities investigate the background of Ikner, who was also part of a Youth Advisory Council aimed at promoting safety and crime prevention among local youth.
Ikner learned to handle guns from his sheriff deputy stepmother, leading to questions about how his family background influenced his actions on campus.
Knight emphasized that Ikner had been exposed to firearm safety, but the tragic shooting raised concerns about access and supervision.
