World News: Two people killed and at least 5 wounded in Florida State shooting

This is the World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe.

In the U.S., a shooting on Thursday at Florida State University has led to two deaths and at least five injuries.

The suspect has been identified as a 20-year-old student at FSU and the son of a local sheriff's deputy.

Authorities report that he used his mother's handgun in the attack.

The incident began around 11:50 AM local time, near the university's student union.

There were eight to ten gunshots before responding officers confronted the shooter, who was shot after failing to comply with commands and then taken into custody.

The two people who lost their lives were not students. One of the injured remains in critical condition.

The motive behind the shooting is still under investigation.

It was the second significant campus shooting at FSU, following a 2014 incident at the university library.

In Russia, the Supreme Court has officially removed Afghanistan's ruling Taliban from its list of banned terrorist organizations, a designation that had been in place since 2003.

While the Taliban remains unrecognized as Afghanistan's official government, the ruling on Thursday, local time, reflects Moscow's intent to normalize ties.

It also reflects efforts to collaborate with the Taliban to counter threats posed by Islamic State Khorasan, which has been responsible for deadly attacks in both Russia and Afghanistan.

Russia's attitude toward the Taliban has changed over the past two decades.

It was the first country to open a business representative office in Kabul after the Taliban's takeover, seeing the group as a strategic partner to advance its political and economic interests.

In Italy, near Naples, four people died and one person was critically injured when a cable car crashed on Thursday.

The victims included two British tourists, an Israeli woman, and the cable car operator.

According to reports, the cable car crashed to the ground after a traction cable snapped during its ascent.

The incident occurred on Monte Faito, a popular tourist destination known for its panoramic views of the Bay of Naples.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is visiting the U.S., extended her condolences to the victims' families from Washington, D.C., and emphasized the government's commitment to uncovering the cause of the tragedy.

Finally, in the UK, author F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel The Great Gatsby has been brought to life on the musical stage in London's West End.

While an official opening is scheduled for April 24 and previews began on April 11, the show's launch event was held on Wednesday.

The production features Jamie Muscato as Gatsby, Frances Mayli McCann as Daisy Buchanan, and Corbin Bleu as Nick Carraway, the narrator.

After its Broadway run, the adaptation received praise for its vibrant energy and lavish production, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in Jay Gatsby's dazzling world through a theatrical experience.

The musical will run at The London Coliseum until September 7.
