2 killed at Central Michigan University, gunman 'armed and dangerous' still at large

2018-03-03

[FOXNEWS] A manhunt is underway for a gunman who fatally shot two people inside a Michigan university dorm building early Friday morning. Mount Pleasant officials are searching for James Eric Davis Jr., a 19-year-old black man who opened fire inside Campbell Hall at Central Michigan University around 8:30 a.m. Police described the shooting as a “family-type domestic issue.”

Lt. Larry Klaus said surveillance video suggests that Davis fled on foot after the shooting.

The university confirmed that the shooting victims were Davis' parents, Diva Jeneen and James Eric Davis Sr. The elder Davis was a part-time police officer in Bellwood, Illinois, Bellwood Police Chief Jiminez Allen told WJBK.

According to Davis' Twitter page, he was a sophomore at Central Michigan University slated to graduate in 2020.

Klaus said Davis was taken to a local hospital Thursday night with a drug-related injury, possibly an overdose, but would not elaborate more.
Just another feral youth story, so his gun doesn't need to be controlled...

#6 Scuttlebutt on the internet hinting that the soon to be deceased father had left his service pistol in the car since the dorm was a "no gun" zone. Shooter knew where the pistol was, went & retrieved it, etc.

#4 The suspect was seen and reported by an individual

Racist! [do I need to put a /s on that or has our Legacy Infotainment Enterprises compromised that concept by actually playing that card too many gazillion times already?]

#3 Tragic. The kid was from an actually involved and intact family.

Sounds like his folks went to see him after his 'medical incident', and probably demanded a 'what gives' from him. Good parenting from where I came from.

My Conjecture - James, being 19 (still stupid) and now in the drug/gang culture since being away from the folks, didn't want to deal with that so took the young hoodlum 'no-disrespect' approach.

#2 Probably not the left's idea of a school shooting story...
