Teen syndrome that FSU shooter was being medicated for when he opened fire in campus rampage
2025-04-22
Emotional dysregulation is a brain-related symptom that means you have trouble managing your feelings and emotions. It’s often a sign of conditions that affect your brain or differences in how your brain developed or works today. It’s usually not a serious condition except when severe. Many of the causes are treatable.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The student accused of shooting two people dead at Florida State University had been diagnosed with emotional dysregulation.

But Phoenix Ikner, 20, had come off the prescription medication at the time of the rampage, a source told CNN.

Ikner was identified by police as the suspect responsible for fatally gunning down two people and injuring six others at the Tallahassee campus last week.

The FSU student opened fire using his Sheriff's Deputy stepmom's handgun, according to investigators.

Police are yet to establish a motive and said it is too early to state whether his condition played any role in the shooting.

Ikner allegedly began firing at random and did not have any connection to the victims, investigators said.

Aramark Collegiate Hospitality regional vice president Tiru Chabba and FSU dining coordinator Robert Morales were identified as the two fatalities.

The suspect was also injured during the shooting and was taken to the hospital where he remains with 'significant' but not life-threatening injuries.
