The gunman who shot three people at a library on the Florida State University campus early Thursday morning has been identified as Myron May, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
May graduated from Florida State before attending Texas Tech for law school. He was fatally shot by officers. Two of the FSU students who were shot remain hospitalized while one has been released.
Abigail Taunton, a woman who runs a foster home in the Florida Panhandle, told the AP on Thursday that May had recently been staying at a guest house she owns.

The shootings took place in Strozier Library, where a terrifying amateur video showed students huddled together listening to instructions from police over the building’s PA system. Police and FSU officials have labeled the shooting an “isolated incident.”
“This person just for whatever reason produced a handgun and then began shooting students in the library,” FSU Police Chief David Perry explained.
Police have yet to release any further details.
