Multiple people were reported injured in an active shooting at multiple locations on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich. on Monday night, and the shooter was still at large, the university police said.

Several law enforcement agencies, including the F.B.I., responded late Monday to reports of shots fired.

Around 8:30 p.m. local time on Monday, the university’s Police Department sent an alert urging people on campus to “secure in place immediately.” The school police said shots were fired near Berkey Hall, home to the school’s college of arts and sciences, and the shooter was still believed to be on foot as of 10 p.m. local time.

School police said there was another reported shooting at IM East, a campus gym, around 9:30 p.m., and that “it appears there is only one suspect at this time.”

Suspect moved to student union, just west of the dorm, where more shots fired. No report on conditions of of those shot. Will release a picture of suspect soon. Sounds like reports of more shootings at the IM building were false.
MSU will shut down for next 48 hours.

The campus police said it believed the suspect was a man who was shorter in stature and wore red shoes, a jean jacket and a baseball cap that was navy blue with a lighter brim.




School police said the gunman killed at least three people and injured at least five who have been hospitalized.

innocent people alone? Pseudo macho woose! "I am miserable and want to die but first I will make sure I am famous and won't get caught", is the thought that most mass murderers (usually men) seem to have in common.
