Ben Veytsman, a sophomore at FSU, told Fox News Digital that he had just finished a therapy appointment in the Thagard Building, near the student union, when he heard a “popping” sound.

Law enforcement blocks off the entrance to FSU campus on Call Street in Tallahassee, Florida.

Veytsman said he initially thought it was an altercation between two individuals, but quickly realized it was more serious when a student ran by shouting about a school shooting.

“It didn’t feel real to me. It felt like I was enacting a school shooter drill,” Veytsman said. He sheltered in a staff lounge before eventually being allowed to return home.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X that her office was in contact with university officials and said, “The FBI is on the scene at Florida State and we are in communication with agents on the ground. Our priority is the safety of everyone involved.”

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare confirmed they received patients related to the FSU shooting but did not disclose how many, citing privacy rules. “Our teams are fully mobilized and prepared to provide the highest level of care,” the hospital wrote in a statement.

“Continue to seek shelter and await further instructions. Lock and stay away from all doors and windows and be prepared to take additional protective measures.”

The Tallahassee Police Department and FSU campus police were observed securing the perimeter around the Student Union, and multiple emergency vehicles were dispatched to the area.

As of this time, there have been no confirmed reports of injuries, and authorities have not yet verified the presence of a gunman. Law enforcement agencies are continuing to investigate and sweep buildings in the vicinity of the Student Union.

Campus operations were immediately suspended following the alert, and students were advised to remain in secure locations until an all-clear is given.

University officials have not yet released additional updates on the situation or provided details regarding the origin of the report.

The university’s emergency alert system is continuing to update the FSU community through text alerts, emails, and social media platforms.

One video, filmed inside a classroom, captured students taking cover under desks as someone banged on the door yelling, “open up.”

Parents and families have been advised to avoid the area and not attempt to contact students directly during the lockdown.

FSU officials stated that they will provide further information as it becomes available and emphasized the importance of following all directives issued by law enforcement.
