Five students remain hospitalized at Sparrow Hospital and police continue to try to determine a motive. The gunman has been identified.
Michigan State University public safety officials say all eight victims of Monday’s mass shooting on campus were students and they’ve identified the suspected gunman as a 43-year-old Lansing man.
Chris Rozman, the interim chief of the MSU Public Safety Department, said two students were fatally shot at Berkey Hall while the third victim was at the campus Union. The five wounded remain in critical condition at Sparrow Hospital. Four needed surgical intervention and one did not, said Sparrow’s Chief Medical Officer Denny Martin.
The suspected gunman’s name is Anthony McRae. Criminal records show McRae, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, had a previous conviction of up to 18 months in state prison in November 2019 after being convicted of possessing a loaded firearm in a vehicle. He was released from supervision in May 2021.
