A gunman opened fire Monday night (local time) at Michigan State University, killing three people and wounding five more, before fatally shooting himself off campus amid an hourslong manhunt during which frightened students hid in the dark.
Police reported the man’s death four hours after shootings broke out, first at Berkey Hall, an academic building, and then nearby at the MSU Union, a popular hub to eat or study.
Michigan State has about 50,000 students. All campus activities were cancelled for 48 hours, including athletics and classes.
