Investigators said they still were trying to pin down a motive, three days after the violence at the East Lansing campus, but they described the 43-year-old McRae as a loner. Investigators interviewed McRae’s father, who said his son had no friends and mostly stayed in a room at their Lansing home, said Lt. Rene Gonzalez of the state police.
