Meanwhile, some local witnesses report of two dead as a result of the shooting. However, the police services haven't confirmed this information, specifying only that "some were wounded".
A similar information was reported by the Detroit Free Press outlet, which stated that two people were killed.
I am a freshman at Central Michigan University. I left campus for Spring Break an hour before the shootings. Two of my fellow Chippewas are dead. Our campus is a gun free zone. This monster did not care about laws or human life. He is the problem not the gun. @cnn @FoxNews @nbc

The incident occurred only two weeks after another deadly shooting that hit the US Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, killing 17 people.
My brother is attending Central Michigan University. He's okay, they're on lockdown right now. But in all seriousness. Shooter is apparently at large.

Wonder if it's another disgruntled incel/white nationalist.
The building of the Central Michigan University is located in the US city of Mount Pleasant, Michigan, hosting about 20,000 students in the Mount Pleasant campus.
Not really how I planned to spend my Friday morning, barricaded in a dark room, intensely scrutinizing each unknown sound to determine its lethality, but welcome to America in 2018. Stay safe, everyone. #centralmichigan #cmich pic.twitter.com/JfL2E4i03x
