Three dead and five injured. This is the tentative balance sheet of the gunfight that took place on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, a university town near the state capital of Lansing, approximately 145 km northwest of Detroit, Michigan (USA). Police released a sketch of the suspect after sounding the alarm: “A black man wearing red shoes and a veiled face.”
The suspect opened fire at 20:30 local time (2:30am GMT) at Berkeley Hall on the East Leaning campus. An hour later, the same person opened fire near a gym, one kilometer from the residence where the first shooting occurred. The Michigan State University campus east of the state capital, Lansing, is home to 50,000 students. Police said Michigan State University’s activities were “suspended for 48 hours” and asked students not to report to the university.
According to the reports in the US press, it was claimed that the suspect took his own life with a gunshot wound after escaping the scene of the shooting.
“The suspect appears to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. There is no longer a threat to the campus,” police said.
