TALLAHASSEE, FL — Prosecutors said new body camera and security footage from the deadly2025 shooting at Florida State Universityshould never have been released after the videos were accidentally made public without proper redactions following a flood of records requests in the case.

A Florida State University (FSU) student isaccused of opening fireat the school's student union, killing two people and injuring five others with gunfire in April 2025, according to authorities. The suspect,Phoenix Ikner, faces charges of first-degree murder and the death penalty.

Recently released videos showed moments of panic inside the student union as bystanders realize what's unfolding and the moment an FSU police officer takes down Ikner to arrest him. But when theTallahassee Democrat, part of the USA TODAY Network, requested copies of the videos, the State Attorney's Office of the Second Judicial Circuit said "some protected records were mistakenly released" when fulfilling a previous records request.

"Due to this error, there is an ongoing review of pending records requests to address and remove the records that were inadvertently released," the State Attorney's Office said. "Once this review has been completed, your records request will be answered."

What do the videos show?

The footage featured across news outlets, including local TV news stations WTXL and WCTV, begins seconds before an FSU police officer rides up to the scene and fires his first shots at Iknerwhile still seated on his motorcycle.

"Stay on the ground now," the officer yelled after firing at least a dozen bullets.

He then took off running toward Ikner as a bystander ran past him trying to get away. Another officer's camera later showed a handcuffed Ikner lying on the ground as officers waited for medics to attend to the facial wound he endured when the officer "neutralized" the threat.

Before this, soundless surveillance camera footage showed Ikner running through the union with his gun, with one camera angle even catching him chasing down two students. Students could be seen studying, eating, and working on their computers. Within seconds, everyone scrambled to exit the building and avoid flying bullets.

Later footage showed that other officers' cameras captured the process of clearing the campus and releasing students from classrooms. Students are seen walking out of classrooms and buildings with their hands up, and some who have phones in hand on calls with loved ones.

One video snippet showed an officer helping a wounded victim alongside paramedics.

"Let me check your blood pressure," a paramedic could be heard saying. "Run that way," the officer shouted to a student who was running by. "Keep your hands up and run that way for me."

More body camera footage from the officer who shot down Ikner showedFSU Police Chief Jason Trumbowerpraising him for his heroism.

"Are you the one who shot him?" Trumbower asked. "I shot him, yes, sir," the officer said.

"OK, good job," Trumbower replied. "You good?"

Why won't the State Attorney's Office release the footage?

State Attorney Jack Campbell told the Tallahassee Democrat he knew people would argue that the videos are already out there, so there's no reason to withhold them now. He disagreed.

"Two wrongs don’t make a right,” Campbell said. “Just because I made one mistake doesn’t mean I should make another."

Campbell explained that the videos were accidentally released without proper redactions after a deluge of record requests piled up asking for Ikner's chat logs with ChatGPT. The Tallahassee Democrat broke news thata lawsuit was being filedagainst the leading AI chatbot.

Records showed Ikner was in "constant communication" with the chatbot before the shooting occurred.

Campbell said he immediately shut down the release of footage from his office once he realized what happened and took full responsibility for the mistake because raw videos weren't supposed to be released for several reasons.

Chief among them is that surveillance footage cannot be given out, he said, because it allows future criminals to see where cops are surveilling, which could potentially aid them in evading arrest. There are videos where officers were seen running up to victims, and victims are identified. Campbell said victims' names and faces are supposed to be redacted, especially those who asked to remain confidential.

And on a personal level, Campbell said he had promised the victims they could view the footage first.

"I had told the victims that I would let them see (them) in a controlled and intimate setting before they had to see it on the news," he added.

Campbell said he's very upset this happened and that he hurt the victims' families. They were alerted as soon as he saw what happened.

"We blindsided them," he said.

What happened in the FSU shooting?

Authorities said a suspect opened fire near FSU's student union at about 11:50 a.m. local time on April 17, 2025, striking multiple people and triggering a campus-wide lockdown as students ran for cover.

Campus police arrived at the scene "almost immediately" and shot the suspect, Tallahassee Police Chief Lawrence Revell said at the time. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the hospital with "serious but non-life-threatening injuries," according to Revell.

Two victims,Robert MoralesandTiru Chabba— who were not students — were pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said. Six people were hospitalized for injuries, including five who suffered gunshot wounds and another person who was injured while running away from the shooting.

Ikner allegedly brought two firearms to campus the day of the shooting, a 12-gauge shotgun and a .45 caliber Glock, according to a Leon County grand jury report. Both were taken from the home of his stepmother, a veteran deputy with the Leon County Sheriff's Office, and his father.

Tallahassee police later revealed that Ikner "was shot once, in the jaw" and had been "neutralized" by an FSU police officer early in his attack. Ikner waslater released from the hospital.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A Chinese national was sentenced on Wednesday to one year in jail by a Kenyan court after beingfoundguilty of illegally possessing wildlife for having hundreds of live ants stored in specialized tubes.

Kenya Ant Trafficking

Zhang Kequn was also fined 1 million Kenyan shillings ($7,700) after pleading guilty to the charge of wildlife possession without a license.

Kenya has previously fined Belgian teenagers who were found in possession of queen ants, which are used as delicacies and kept as pets in Europe and Asia.

Kequn had been charged alongside Kenyan Charles Mwangi who pleaded not guilty to the offense and was released on cash bail.

Prosecutors say Kequn had been sourcing the ants from Mwangi, allegedly paying 60,000 Kenyan shillings ($463) for an initial batch of 600 ants, and 70,000 shillings ($540) for another batch of 700.

The suspects were arrested on March 10 after authorities found them in possession of 1,948 garden ants stored in specialized tubes, along with an additional 300 ants in tissue rolls. Prosecutors say the suspects did not have the permits required under Kenya’s wildlife conservation laws to handle or trade such species.

Last year, two Belgian teenagers were charged with wildlife piracy in what Kenyan authorities described as part of a trend involving the trafficking of smaller, lesser-known species. They were found with 5,000 ants in test tubes. The insects were said to be destined for European and Asian markets, and Kenyan authorities valued the ants at 1 million shillings ($7,700).

ISTANBUL (AP) — The death toll from Turkey's second school shooting in two days rose to 10 Thursday after another victim died while being treated in hospital, authorities said.

Turkey School Shooting

Six of the wounded were in critical condition before the death early Thursday following the shooting the previous day, officials said.

Isa Aras Mersinli, 14, opened fire on two classrooms at a middle school in the southern city of Kahramanmaras on Wednesday, killing a teacher and eight students and wounding 13 others.

The gunman, who was also killed, arrived at the school with five firearms and seven magazines belonging to his father, a retired police superintendent, who was arrested after the attack.

Wednesday's attack came just a day after16 people were woundedwhen a former student opened fire at a high school in nearby Sanliurfa province. The victims were mostly students. The assailant later killed himself. As of Thursday, 20 people had been detained in connection with Tuesday's shooting in Sanliurfa.

The interior and education ministries held a joint school security meeting in the capital, Ankara, on Thursday, that was attended by both ministers and all 81 of Turkey’s provincial governors, as well as police chiefs and provincial education directors.

Turkey’s national police headquarters revealed the suspect’s profile picture on the messaging platform WhatsApp was a photo ofElliot Rodger, a college student who killed six people in California in 2014.

The Ministry of Family and Social Services announced Thursday it had set up a team to “provide psychosocial support” to students and their families. It also plans to conduct a comprehensive investigation of similar incidents.

Funerals were held Thursday afternoon for each of the eight students, all age 11, who were killed Wednesday. Math teacher Ayla Kara, 55, who died during the attack, also was buried Thursday.

Cevdet Yesil, whose son Adnan Gokturk Yesil was among the victims, said he rushed to the school Wednesday after being informed of the shooting.

“And unfortunately we searched for our child, our son, until 5 p.m. One way or another, our security forces found him," Yesil said. "We went to the hospital and identified (his remains). We saw he had died.”

Hundreds of educators gathered in Ankara and the city of Izmir to demand greater school security. Until this week, school shootings were rare in Turkey. But dozens of students were arrested Thursday over social media posts implying they might stage similar attacks. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek announced that 67 social media users were detained over posts targeting 54 different schools.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) —Pope Leo XIVis following in the footsteps of his spiritual father, St. Augustine, making a pilgrimage to the archaeological ruins of eastern Algeria where the fifth century titan of early Christianity lived, died and wrote some of the most important works in Western thought.

Algeria Africa Pope

Leo’s visit to Annaba, the modern-day Hippo, is a spiritual homecoming for the American pope on his secondfull day in Algeria. He arrived Monday on the first-ever papal visit, against the backdrop of the U.S.-Israel war in Iran and his calls for peace that have sparked a feud with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Leo proclaimed himself a “son of St. Augustine” on the night of his election and has cited Augustine prolifically in his first year, making clear he is the guiding inspiration of Leo's pontificate. For this trip, where he is aiming to press a message of peace and Christian-Muslim coexistence, he is focusing on Augustine as a bridge-builder.

But the visit is also drawing attention to the North African origins of Augustine, who only spent five years in Italy but is often considered through a Eurocentric lens as one of the greatest Western thinkers of Christianity for his writings on truth, evil, creation and grace.

Leo'sAugustinian religious orderwas founded in Italy in the 13th century, inspired by the saint.

A life in North Africa, looking to Rome

St. Augustine was born in 354 to a Berber mother and Roman father in Thagaste, today the Algerian city of Souk Ahras near the border with Tunisia. At the time, the swath of North Africa was part of the Roman Empire, including Carthage in today’s Tunisia, where Augustine was educated and taught rhetoric.

He left North Africa for Rome in 383 and then Milan, where he converted to Christianity. He returned to his homeland soon thereafter, founded a monastery at Hippo, became a bishop and there wrote some of the most important works in the Western canon, including “Confessions” and “The City of God.”

A new book, “Augustine the African,” by Catherine Conybeare, an Augustine scholar at Bryn Mawr college in Pennsylvania, explores Augustine from his perspective: As a North African, looking to Rome as the center of his universe but feeling insecure there about his Punic-accented Latin.

“One of the most important thinkers in the Western intellectual tradition actually came from Africa, spent almost his whole life in Africa,” Conybeare told The Associated Press. “How does that change things?”

“Of course, because his successors — the people who carried on his heritage — were in Europe, they got to tell the story,” she said. And Europe got his body: After dying in Hippo, Augustine's body was taken eventually to Pavia, Italy, though a forearm remains in the basilica in Annaba.

In welcoming Leo on the first-ever papal visit to Algeria, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune expressed the “immense pride” Algerians feel over St. Augustine. He called him “a cherished son of this land, which having been his first cradle, proudly became his initial resting place.”

A personal visit for Leo

Leo made clear en route to Algeria and even in his remarks to Algerian authorities how deeply personal and important this visit is to him, because of his spiritual connection to St. Augustine. He had visited twice before, while he was superior of the Augustinian order.

“This journey, which is very special for several reasons, was supposed to be the first of my pontificate,” Leo told reporters on the papal plane. “As early as last May, I had said that on my first journey, I would like to visit Africa. Several people immediately suggested Algeria because of St. Augustine.”

In the end, other trips intervened, but he kept the appointment.

The saint, he said, represents “a very important bridge in interreligious dialogue" that the world could use.

“We must always seek bridges to build peace and reconciliation," he said. "This journey, then, truly represents a valuable opportunity to continue with the same voice, with the same message, that we wish to convey: to promote peace, reconciliation, respect and consideration for all peoples.”

While in Annaba, Leo was to visit the archaeological ruins of the ancient Roman city of Hippo, including its theatre, market and thermal baths. The Vatican said the site includes the ruins of the basilica where Augustine preached and the adjoining baptistry.

Leo was also to visit an order of nuns and the small community of Augustinians in Annaba. He was finishing the day by celebrating Mass at the Basilica of St. Augustine, built in the late 1800s, which contains the relic of the saint. Thousands of pilgrims visit the basilica each year, including Muslims.
