A gunman opened fire on the main campus of Michigan State University last night, killing three people and injuring five, before an hours-long manhunt for the suspect ended with his death, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot, police said.
Chris Rozman, interim deputy chief of the MSU police, said the incident happened on Monday night, noting that the five injured persons were rushed to the hospital where they are in “critical condition”.
The suspected shooter, a 43-year-old man with no affiliation to the university, was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a confrontation with law enforcement officials, Rozman said.

“This truly has been a nightmare that we are living tonight,” the police deputy chief said. “We have no idea why he came to campus to do this tonight.”
The suspect and the victims have not been identified as police said they were determining whether the latter were students or affiliated with MSU.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, expressed her sadness over the shooting.

She said gun violence “is a uniquely American problem”, adding that “it does not have to be this way”.
“Parents across Michigan are on pins and needles calling their kids tonight, checking in on them, and telling them they love them. It doesn’t have to be this way,” Whitmer tweeted.
“This is a uniquely American problem. Too many of us scan rooms for exits when we enter them. We plan who that last text or call would go to. We should not, we cannot accept living like this.
