UPDATED WITH BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
State Attorney Jack Campbell said he plans to seek the death penalty against Phoenix Ikner.
Ikner is the man facing two first-degree murder charges and seven attempted first-degree murder charges in connection with the Florida State campus shooting.
"There's evidence that this was not a sudden combat or, you know. an accident kind of situation that it was very much a planned attack as is reflected in the presentment," said Campbell.
That presentment he's talking about was drawn up by the grand jury Wednesday after reviewing evidence like surveillance video.
"They had to review the case otherwise he could not be tried for first-degree murder," said Campbell. "Secondly because we had the officer involved shooting of Ikner that had to be reviewed not by law but by practice we take that all of those shootings to the grand jury."
The documents reveal startling details about the events of April calling the event "our community's worst nightmare."
Their conclusion states "Phoenix Ikner acted alone" adding "no evidence has been uncovered that suggests he had the aid of any person or organization.
The grand jury also justified the actions of FSU PD Officer Cody Poppell, who apprehended Ikner, with a shot to the jaw, calling his actions "heroic" and saying "there is no question others would have died absent his actions."
Campbell said he hopes these documents help calm the nerves of the community since the tragedy that's been felt in every corner of the city.
"We're obviously pursuing a bunch of different legislative approaches to, to make that a real change," said FSU student Noah Brown. "So our students never have to deal with this again and if it does happen again, God forbid that we have the resources to deal with it."
The incident has driven FSU students like Noah Brown and Reid Seybold and to advocate for more mental health resources at FSU, building on existing support.
"We have a working group and we're working on a number of avenues to ensure that, one, our peers don't have to experience this," said Seybold.
Meanwhile the legal proceedings will continue. Campbell said a trial will likely happen in the next 2 to 3 years but adds his office will be ready to go within six months.
Have you determined like who will be some of like your key witnesses or experts?
"I'm going to try to get as many first sources that I can that people who actually know it and so that they can say here's what the experience was like so that I can allow a jury to understand what happened on April 17th so they can make the best decision possible," said Campbell.
According to court records, Ikner's arraignment will take place on June 11, at 9am.
