It's wild to me that I still have the FSU Counseling & Psychological Services phone number memorized. I feel for those folks; they have very hard days ahead.
The shooter is going to wish the cops hit the mark when taking him down. Gonna be a rough time in jail til his execution. Supposedly the mom was a Leon County Sherrif Deputy, and he used her service weapon. Not gonna go good for her either.
It was not her current service weapon, it was her previous and now retired service weapon.
True, but still going to be many questions from LE on how the kid had access to her weapons. Anytime someone commits a crime with your weapon there's going to be some explaining to do. Especially if you're a LE type.
He is a 20 year old adult that worked with the Sheriff's office. If my adult son was living with me, he'd have access to my guns.
DIdn't I hear somewhere that the mother is no longer with the Sheriff's Dept but is a Resource Officer now?
I read that she is the Resource Officer at Raa Middle School but she’s likely still with LCSO.
We have a retired Deputy Chief of JSO here in Jax who is an advisor on one of our news channels. He said that since the alleged perpetrators is 20 he is an adult and there is no law or requirement for police with no minors at home to secure firearms.

He holds dual citizenship because of his biological mother, and for that reason I would think he’d be denied bail.
A gun is a mechanical object that requires input to fire. If there were no people in the house, you would be even safer. It's not the gun, it's the nut jobs that shoot people and the people that don't use them properly that's the problem.
Sure, he could have and might have. They allegedly found an AR-15 style weapon in the car as well so he could have. And yes, many people have access to other folk's weapons, but the question is should they and what is a reasonable about of security? In this case the son had mental health issues which were likely known to the stepmother so does that change the dynamic? I have weapons at home, but they are not open access unless you know how to access them. As for her job I think she was transferred to property crimes from a resource officer. Connected? Maybe but she could have requested it.
I would doubt it as well. Especially considering there were reported mental health issues and meds. If true I would assume she didnt know either.
