Michigan State: Three students killed in shooting at university (BBC News)

The police said a caller's tip led them to the gunman, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The shirts were handed out to survivors of the Oxford High School shooting near Detroit, Michigan 15 months ago. He was not a student, faculty, or staff, current or previous," Chris Rozman of the Michigan State University Police said. "If this is not a wake-up call to do something, I don't know what is." In a text message, the daughter said: "I heard somebody get shot, Mom. I could smell the gunpowder." Police said the suspect then walked over to the nearby MSU Union building, where they received several more reports of gunshots. Meanwhile, police in New Jersey said a town's public and private schools were closed on Tuesday due to a threat connected to the Michigan State suspect. The shooting is the latest in a growing number in schools and college campuses across the US. Some reported on social media that they were hiding. "We went to school here, we got children here, we got family, this is us," said Marlon Lynch, chief of campus police at the university. The victims were all students at the university, police said, and the injured remain in critical condition. Three students were killed and five others injured after a gunman opened fire on the Michigan State University (MSU) campus on Monday night.

“I was starting to feel that sense of security there, so having it gone again is not a good feeling,” she said. “The people that I teach have not only lived through active shooter drills and actual mass shootings, but we somehow have to prepare them to be the adults in the room when more inevitable school shootings happen,” Dr. In one TikTok video, a student who was at Sandy Hook Elementary on the day of the shooting said it was “incomprehensible” to have lived through two mass shootings in her 21 years. On Monday night, she and her roommate barricaded their dorm room door with a dresser and their bathroom door with a hamper, and hid under their desks. Riddle, the Oxford High graduate who is now at Michigan State, remembered hiding in the band room in high school the day of that 2021 shooting. “She changed the game if you were friends with her, if you knew her,” he said. Woodruff, the school’s interim president, said that classes would be canceled until Monday morning, and that other operations were on a modified schedule. McRae had ties to Ewing but had not lived there for several years, the Ewing Township Police Department said in a statement. Winnie Brinks, the Senate majority leader, said the Senate would be taking action soon on “common sense” legislation, though details on the proposals were not immediately clear. The archive, a nonprofit research organization, defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people were killed or injured. Anderson, who loved to roller skate and attend Michigan State basketball games, was studying to become a doctor because she wanted to help others, her grandfather, Dwayne Thomas, said in a telephone interview. “She was a living angel,” he said.

Motive sought in Michigan State shooting as community reels (Los Angeles Times)

Police are still searching for a motive in the shooting deaths of three students at Michigan State University by a gunman who later killed himself.

The shooter, who had not lived in Ewing for several years, had a “history of mental health issues,” the department said. His son “was depressed and overly stressed out,” shutting himself in his room when he was home, he said. Though the state requires a permit to purchase handguns and for sales records to be sent to law enforcement, it lacks important gun safety laws, A concealed weapons charge was dismissed as part of a plea agreement, and McRae was sentenced to 12 months’ probation, which he completed in May 2021, the record shows. Rozman said an “alert citizen” called in the suspect’s location, which was dispatched to police units off campus assisting in the search. Michael McRae told the Post he once confronted his son about gunshots he heard in their backyard, but his son insisted it was just fireworks despite the bullet casings on the ground. The gun was legally registered to him, but he did not have the required concealed carry permit, according to the Ingham County prosecutor. [the department](https://twitter.com/msupolice/status/1625348771386204161) released the photos on social media showing a man in red shoes, a jean jacket and a navy baseball cap with a lighter brim. The shooter was dead of “self-inflicted gunshot wounds,” Rozman said. Authorities believe the gunman exited Berkey and walked to the student union, about one block west, before quickly fleeing, Rozman said. Officers were sent there and found one additional victim who was among the dead, Rozman said. The gunman was identified as Anthony Dwayne McRae, 43, whom university police said died Monday night of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
