The Michigan State University Shooting

On Monday night this week, a gunman in East Lansing, Michigan, killed three Michigan State University students. Five more were injured. The 43-year-old gunman attacked students in two buildings. One, Berkey Hall, was a dorm. The other was a student union building.

The killer was eventually found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a lengthy manhunt. It was later discovered that he had been charged with a gun-related felony in 2019 for carrying a concealed weapon without a license. That charge was dropped after he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
