Not stated were the "extremist views", but being the NY Times that likely included the stepmother being a Trump voter. Just a guess. TD
NY Post "The grandmother of alleged Florida State University gunman Phoenix Ikner reportedly accused his parents of influencing the campus shooting that left two dead and several others injured — ripping the couple as “rotten bastard people.”
"Footage circulating on social media depicted a terrifying scene of carnage and panic as the lone gunman fired rapid shots at seemingly random people near the campus’s student union building.
"Ikner, who was also allegedly caught with a handgun and a shotgun, has since been described as someone who touted “white supremacist” views and spewed “gross” racial rhetoric, according to his classmates."
From The Times of India . . .“He was the sweetest kid, smart,” she said while briefly sobbing, before adding, “The rotten bastard people. I have no idea what we’re going to do now, I have no idea.' ” . . .

FSU Shooting Suspect Was Shaped by Guns, Extreme Views and Chaotic Childhood - The New York Times . . ."By the time the suspect, Phoenix Ikner, was 6 years old, court records showed that he had to repeat kindergarten. His parents fought bitterly over every aspect of his care while accusing each other of manipulation and abuse. Judges were forced to intervene again and again as the parents traded allegations of domestic violence and stalking. The legal battle consumed nearly his entire childhood and ended only when he became an adult and most of the family court matters became moot.
“All I wanted for him was a loving environment,” his biological mother, Anne-Mari Eriksen, said on Friday in a brief interview, in which she was clearly upset. “I was always concerned about his mental health and happiness.”
Chief Lawrence E. Revell of the Tallahassee Police Department said in a video statement that the suspect, a Florida State student, appeared to have no direct connection to his victims. The chief added that the suspect would face charges up to and including first-degree murder.
