Statement on the tragedy on FSU’s campus on April 17, 2025

What happened in and around the Student Union at FSU was an act of evil. Not only did it take and change the lives of innocent individuals, it told a story contrary to the work of our God and the FSU community.

We mourn with the lives of those lost, we grieve with and for their families, and we recognize the fortune that those associated with Wesley and its campus ministry were unharmed. Wesley is ready and willing to stand for justice in this tragedy and continue to tell a story of love, acceptance, and resurrection.

We recognize and thank the many first responders who put their lives on the line to end this heinous act. We condemn in the strongest sense all acts of violence and hate and we call on those with the power to protect their people to do so with intentionality and purpose. And to do so quickly.

In Christ,

Rev. Bryant Manning, Pastor
