Report: FSU Shooter Was An Ohio Native

usatoday.com

The man who Florida authorities say opened fire at a Florida State University library on Thursday was an Ohio native.  Published reports indicate 31-year-old Myron May was born in Dayton, and moved to Florida at age 13 to live with his grandmother.  He recently quit his job as a prosecutor in New Mexico. Tallahassee police chief Michael DeLeo says the FSU graduate was in a state of crisis when he shot three people before he was killed by officers.

DeLeo says May moved back to Tallahassee a few weeks ago.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
