Phoenix Ikner, the suspect in the tragic Florida State University shooting, is the son of long-serving sheriff's deputy Jessica Ikner. During the incident, which resulted in two deaths and several injuries, he allegedly used a handgun previously owned by his mother, suggesting he had access to her former service weapon. Police reported that Ikner was injured and taken to a hospital. Investigations are ongoing, including scrutiny of Jessica Ikner's role, though no indication exists that she would face suspension or disciplinary action at this time.
"The suspect allegedly used a handgun that his mother previously used on the job, officials said. McNeil added that it was 'not a surprise to us that he had access to weapons.'"
"Jessica Ikner has worked at the sheriff's office for more than 18 years... the suspect 'had access to one of her weapons,' which was found at the scene of the shooting."
"Officials said they believed that was how the suspect had obtained his mother's former weapon."
"McNeil said there was 'no cause right now to be aware of that would require [Jessica Ikner] to be placed on any kind of suspension or otherwise.'"
