The man accused of carrying out a deadly shooting at Florida State University last Thursday had a documented history of neo-Nazi sympathies and white supremacist rhetoric, according to findings released by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Phoenix Ikner, the 22-year-old alleged gunman, is accused of killing two people and injuring six others in a campus attack. While the motive behind the shooting remains under investigation, the ADL has identified alarming ties between Ikner and far-right extremist ideology based on his online presence and digital footprints. According to the ADL’s Center on Extremism, Ikner was “an avid gamer and YouTuber” who used aliases and screen names referencing Nazi imagery and white supremacist groups.
