TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Reports circulating online about a possible shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee are drawing attention Tuesday, September 29, 2026, but a new shooting at the university has not been independently confirmed by the latest official information reviewed.
Florida State University’s official calendar continues to list scheduled campus activities for September 29, including academic, professional-development and student events.
The Florida State University Police Department maintains a public crime log that records reported criminal incidents within its jurisdiction. The latest entries publicly available do not show a shooting at FSU dated September 29.
Police Activity and Campus Safety
Students, faculty and visitors should rely on official emergency notifications from Florida State University and law enforcement rather than unverified posts circulating on social media.
The Florida State University Police Department lists 911 as the emergency number and provides a non-emergency number at (850) 644-1234.
Anyone currently on or near campus who receives an official emergency alert should follow the instructions provided by university officials and law enforcement.
Previous FSU Shooting
Florida State University was the scene of a deadly shooting on April 17, 2025, when a gunman opened fire on campus. Two people were killed and several others were injured before responding officers confronted the suspect.
Following that tragedy, FSU implemented additional campus-security measures. University officials said hundreds of classrooms received lockdown or panic buttons, while thousands of students and employees participated in active-threat training.
The 2025 shooting remains separate from the unverified reports circulating about September 29, 2026.
What We Know Right Now
At this time, there is no confirmed evidence in the official sources reviewed that a new shooting has occurred at Florida State University today.
This story should be updated if Florida State University Police, the Tallahassee Police Department, the university administration or another authoritative law-enforcement agency confirms an incident.
Readers should be cautious about sharing unverified claims, names, casualty figures or videos until authorities confirm the information.
This is a developing situation. Information may change as authorities provide additional updates.
