Knowing all too well that tragedies can and do occur, students at the University of Central Florida understood what was going through the minds of students at Florida State when they first got alert messages of a shooter on campus.
In the early morning of Nov. 20, a lone gunman opened fire at the Strozier library on Florida State University’s main campus — wounding three students before being killed by campus police.
Here at UCF, Police Chief Richard Beary said that the school had extended an offer to to FSU for help with response and recovery and also said that police presence on UCF’s main campus would be enhanced over the next several days.
“Here at the university, being the situation that unfolded up there, we’ve taken some proactive steps just to make sure that our students feel safe and we have a very visible presence — which we do everyday. We’ve kind of enhanced it a little bit and will continue that over the next few days,” Chief Beary said.
