[!CDATA[A 20-year-old man has been indicted by a grand jury for a mass shooting that occurred on Florida State University's campus, resulting in two deaths and six injuries. Phoenix Ikner faces charges of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. The grand jury described the shooting as a nightmare for the community. Details from the indictment revealed that an FSU police officer, Cody Poppell, confronted Ikner during the shooting and fired shots at him, injuring him. Ikner used weapons stolen from his parents' home in the attack. The deceased victims were identified as Robert Morales and Tiru Chabba. Chabba's family released a statement through their attorney expressing hope for closure through the investigation and prosecution of the shooting. Ikner, who suffered a jaw injury during the incident, appeared in court online after being released from the hospital. Ikner appeared before a judge in Leon County, Florida, where he was found to be indigent and assigned a public defender. He is currently held without bond in the Wakulla County Detention Facility due to his stepmother's role as a Leon County Sheriff's deputy. The Tallahassee Chief of Police emphasized the commitment to justice, transparency, and community safety in a statement before Ikner's court appearance.]]
