Police: Michigan State University Shooter Commits Suicide After Killing Three People
02:36 GMT 14.02.2023 (Updated: 23:40 GMT 14.02.2023) The Monday night shooting at Michigan State University comes on the eve of the five-year anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people - mostly students - were killed.
At least three people were shot dead by a gunman on the campus of Michigan State University on Monday, the university police stated. The authorities said the perpetrator - a 43-year-old man, whose name was not disclosed - died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police also noted that the attacker had no connection to the university. "We have no idea why he came to campus tonight," interim Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said.
Previously, Rozman confirmed that five were injured in two shootings, carried out by the attacker, adding that "some" of the gunshot victims sustained life-threatening injuries.
Officials earlier stated that first responders had transported the injured to the local Sparrow Hospital, and that seven common areas across the campus were secured.
Reports of the shooting first surfaced at about 8:18 p.m. local time, with a notice issued to MSU students around 8:30 p.m. local time urging them to "run, hide, fight."
“Run means evacuate away from danger if you can do so safely," the alert issued by officials read. "Hide means to secure-in-place, and Fight means protect yourself if you have no other option."
Video shared of the scene has captured multiple police cruisers racing to the campus as well as documenting officials' efforts to secure the campus.
Local media reported that Michigan State Police troopers had been seen on campus with rifles, instructing individuals on campus to remain indoors and stay away from windows. At 5,200 acres, the campus is considered one of the largest US universities by area.
The City of East Lansing has also issued a shelter-in-place order to the greater community. Agents with the FBI's Detroit office and those with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives are
responding to the scene.
