The suspect in the Florida State University shooter, who faces first degree murder charges for killing two and injuring five on Thursday was a member of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group around the Republican Party, and is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The 20-year-old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jessica Ikner, who has been with the department for 18 years.
There was another article that said the shooter used the step parent’s service gun.
It used to be her service weapon. It was purchased from the department when they updated equipment.
so do they have responsibility for their weapons?
like securely locked-up whenever they are not on physically in possession and in control of them?
People should be charged with a crime when their unsecured firearms are used in a crime like this. I’m not holding my breath on this one. No way a cop actually faces criminal charges for this. But they should :(
They absolutely fucking do. Most of these situations happen because of some negligent fucking asshole who owns a firearm. It’s so easy to make sure it’s locked up and inaccessible to others. I own firearms and know exactly where they are at at all times and know that they are secure, there’s no fucking excuse for that negligence
