Statement from Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings on Shooting at Florida State University | April 17, 2025
“Our hearts go out to those affected by the senseless shooting at Florida State University, as well as their families and loved ones. It is especially painful to see this act of violence occur during the holy season. My wife, former Congresswoman Val Demings, and I are both proud alumni of FSU. A college campus should be a place of peace, learning and discovery, and not a place of violence.”
– Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings
