At least 3 dead, 5 injured in shooting at Michigan State University
[Jpost] A gunman opened fire on Monday night at Michigan State University's main campus, killing three people and injuring five, some severely, before he was found dead hours later, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot, police said.

The 43-year-old gunman had no known affiliation to the university, and his motive remained a mystery, police said at an early morning news briefing more than five hours after the violence began on the East Lansing campus, about 90 miles northwest of Detroit.

Details about the sequence of events remained sketchy, but Chris Rozman, interim deputy chief of the university police, said shots were fired in two locations - an academic building called Berkey Hall and the Michigan State University (MSU) Union building.

Police responding to the shooting, which began shortly after 8 p.m. (0100 GMT), found victims at both locations, Rozman told reporters at a televised briefing about three hours later.

Rozman said investigators had no information about the motive. He also said the university was not aware of any threats made to the campus before Monday's bloodshed.

Rozman said three victims were killed and five were taken to hospital, some of them with life-threatening injuries. Two of the dead were at Berkey Hall and the other at the MSU Union.

Officials declined to provide any details about the victims, some of whose identities and relationships to the university were still being determined, Rozman said.

The name and other information about the suspect were not immediately released, and police said they remained baffled by what precipitated the shooting.

"We have no idea why he came to campus to do this tonight," Rozman told reporters.

The gunman was confirmed dead, from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot roughly four hours after the bloodshed had started, Rozman said.

"There is no longer a threat to campus. We believe there to be only one suspect in this incident," he said.

Rozman said the suspect "was contacted by law enforcement off campus" at some point, adding, "that scene is being investigated as a crime scene."

#4 'I cannot believe we are here AGAIN': Michigan Dem fumes after MSU shooting that comes just 15 months after four kids were killed at Oxford High School - as gunman with no ties to school is named as Anthony McRae

#5 From Skidmark’s Daily Mail link — the gentleman is probably a moderately functioning schizophrenic:

The gunman who killed three students and then himself at Michigan State University last night was arrested in 2019 for keeping a loaded gun in his car.

Anthony McRae, 43, opened fire on MSU campus at 8.18pm last night, shooting dead two kids at Berkey Hall before moving on to Union Hall, where he killed a third student.

His motive for the rampage remains unclear - he has no known ties to the school. Public records show McRae lived in Lansing with his father. His mother died last year.

It's unclear what he did for work, if anything. On social media, he ranted about God, frequently posting disturbing exorcist photos, selfies with crucifixes and bible verses. He also posted about schizophrenia and Satan.

Police have also said McRae was found with a note in his pocket indicating a threat to two public schools in Ewing, New Jersey, which were closed for the day 'out of an abundance of caution'.

#9 Anthony McRae, the Michigan State shooter, was charged in June 2019 with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit, but later had those charges dismissed by George Soros-backed prosecutor Carol Siemon.https://t.co/z6JS22mof5

#10 Siemon made it her office’s official policy in August 2021 to drop mandatory prison sentences for felony firearms charges. She said the sentencing enhancement led to “dramatic racial inequity” and was “not in any way linked to the goal that we share of keeping the public safe.”
