Four are confirmed dead and five are hospitalized, some with life-threatening injuries.
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Hundreds of first responders responded to an active shooter situation on the Michigan State University campus Monday night.
Three are confirmed dead and five are hospitalized, some with life-threatening injuries, Interim Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said at a press conference on campus.
The suspect was also found outside of the campus dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Rozman said. There is no longer a threat on campus.
The suspect was described as a short Black male wearing red shoes, a jean jacket and a navy ball cap with a lighter brim. He was last seen walking out of the Michigan State University Union building.
The incident started around 8:18 p.m. inside Berkey Hall on the East Lansing campus.
Police received multiple calls about a shooting inside the hall. When they arrived, officers found several victims, two of which were dead.
The suspect then moved to the Michigan State Union building, adjacent to Berkey Hall, where he allegedly opened fire again, killing one.
Everyone was asked to find shelter immediately, and to stay away from windows. MSU put out an alert that says: Run, Hide, Fight.
“Run means evacuate away from danger if you can do so safely, Hide means to secure-in-place, and Fight means protect yourself if no other option,” officials said.
Victims were transported to Sparrow Hospital near campus. Brody Hall, Snyder/Phillips Hall, Mason Hall, Abbot Hall, Landon Hall, the MSU Union and Berkey Hall have all been cleared.
All campus activities are canceled for 48 hours, including sports, classes and other events. Everyone is asked to stay away from the University Tuesday.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call 844-99-MSUPD or email [email protected].
