Inside the Library

January 27th, 2015 by flanews

A chilling look tonight at the man who opened fire in Florida State’s library two months ago.  As Matt Galka shows us, there could have been many more potential victims.

This video released from the Tallahassee Police Department shows the confusion and chaos inside Strozier Library during last November’s shooting. Before entering, gunman Myron May opened fire on a student outside – paralyzing him.  Two students working at the front desk of the library notice what’s going on and attempt to hide.

That’s when May walks into the library and shoots.  May shot Nathan Scott who was behind the desk. Coworker Paige McPhadden was sitting next to him.

“I heard a gunshot and instaneously Nate screamed and said “no, don’t!” I could smell the gun powder,” she said during her interview with TPD.

Scott talked to us while he was recovering shortly after he was shot.

“After the shot we heard a ‘click click click’ like there was an intent to fire more shots,” he said.

An alternate view shows scared students reacting and running away from what they heard. The video then shows May in the corner of the library’s entrance – still with a gun – while other people are walking by.

He then exits the library where he is then shot and killed by responding officers.

Investigators have yet to release other videos the gunman made shortly before the shooting.

During the investigation, police recovered several more guns, including a .12 gauge shotgun, and ammunition in May’s car which was parked at a nearby McDonald’s.

The 103 page police report was closed at the end of last week. Investigators say the other videos that have not been released include May asking for forgiveness for what he was about to do and asking people to pray for his soul. May believed he was being targeted by the Government.
