Two people are dead and a sheriff deputy's son is in custody after an active shooter was reported at Florida State University's campus in Tallahassee.

The suspect is the 20-year-old son of a sheriff's deputy who had access to one of her weapons, according to Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil.

At least six people are receiving treatment at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, a hospital spokesperson said.

The university told students the threat to the campus has been "neutralized," but the area around the campus is considered an active crime scene.

One FSU student who saw the shooter described him as a “normal college dude" who was wearing an orange T-shirt and khaki shorts. "I was walking and this guy pulls up in an orange Hummer," the student said. "And he gets out with a rifle and shoots in my direction."

The suspect in the FSU shooting espoused white supremacist views and was removed from a political club, the group's president, Reid Seybold, said.

Seybold said he was part of a club with the suspect at Tallahassee State College, where they both attended before transferring to FSU. He was president of a club called "political round table," where the suspect was asked not to return after repeated issues with the suspect's rhetoric.

"Basically our only role was no Nazis — colloquially speaking — and he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric, and far-right rhetoric as well, to the point where we had to exercise that role," Seybold said.

Seybold, now a senior at FSU, was in the Bellamy Building nearby the Student Union when he and others heard gunshots.

"I was texting everybody I love, letting them know that I love them," Seybold told them. "I was, I was getting ready to die."
