One was a fraternity chapter president. Another was a science student with fond memories of her days as a high-school athlete, and the third was a frequent volunteer who wanted to become a surgeon.
Family and friends mourned the deaths of three Michigan State University students killed in a Monday night shooting that critically wounded five others.
All three came from the suburban Detroit area. The names of the five who were injured have not been released.
Among those killed was Alexandria Verner, a junior from Clawson, whose LinkedIn profile said she was studying integrated biology and anthropology.
A 2020 graduate of Clawson high school, Verner “was and is incredibly loved by everyone”, the district superintendent, Billy Shellenbarger, said in a statement Tuesday. “She was a tremendous student, athlete, leader and exemplified kindness every day of her life.
“If you knew her, you loved her and we will forever remember the lasting impact she has had on all of us,” Shellenbarger said, adding that Verner’s parents, sister and brother were “grieving but are certainly already feeling the uplifting support of this tremendous community”.
