As fifth-generation Floridians, our family and friends span the state. When we heard the devastating news of the shooting at Florida State University today, fear gripped us. My daughter, who has close friends at FSU and plans to visit next week, immediately began calling and FaceTiming them. Thankfully, many are already home for the Easter weekend, a significant holiday in our devout Christian community. While relief washed over us, our hearts remain heavy with grief for the trauma so many are enduring. What is also enraging is the immediate politicization of the events.
Extremely irresponsible of any elected or unelected state/local official to be putting out unconfirmed specifics on the active shooter incident at FSU before law enforcement has confirmed the details.

This behavior needs to stop.
