Michigan State University Mass Shooting
The suspect of the mass shooting opened fire inside an academic hall on Michigan State University’s campus on Monday evening, leaving three people dead and five others wounded, according to police. The gunman was later discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound off of MSU’s campus, Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said shortly after midnight.
Rozman said that the Michigan State University shooting ” Truly has been a nightmare that we are living tonight, but we have remained laser-focused on the safety of our campus, our students, and our surrounding community.” The five injured victims, of the Michigan State University shooting, who have been experiencing life-threatening injuries, were transported to Sparrow Hospital for treatment.
Shooting Incident
The shooting began around 8:18 p.m. inside Berkey Hall, which is where the MSU’s Department of Sociology home on the northern boundary of campus. The school sent out a shelter-in-place demand at 8:31 p.m., informing students to stay inside and barricade themselves. “Run, Hide, Fight,” MSU expressed in the alert. “Run means vacate away from danger if you can do so safely, Hide means to secure in place, and Fight means to defend yourself if no other option.”
According to police reports, after the gunman fired several rounds inside Berkey Hall, the suspect walked to MSU Union and opened fire again. The MSU canceled classes for the next two days and encouraged students not to come to campus. Law enforcement officers from several departments FBI, ATF, Michigan State Police, and other agencies assisted local authorities in securing the campus. The FAA enforced temporary flight restrictions over MSU’s campus through Wednesday.
Investigators are still investigating to identify the identity of the gunman of the Michigan State University shooting. It wasn’t also clear if he had any affiliation with the university.
Fox News Digital said that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer expressed that she’s been briefed by Michigan State Police about the shooting. Michigan State University has an enrollment of more than 50,000 students and is located in East Lansing.
