WATCH LIVE: Officials give update on deadly shooting at Michigan State University
EAST LANSING, Mich. --
The shooting began at 8:18 p.m. Monday night at an academic building known as Berkey Hall, and later moved to the nearby student union, a popular gathering spot for students to eat or study. Police said the gunman started shooting in one building and snuck to the other, as officers started arriving and investigators pushed out the suspect's photo.
The shooting at Michigan State is the latest in what has become a deadly new year in the U.S. Dozens of people have died in mass shootings so far in 2023, most notably in California where 11 people were killed as they welcomed the Lunar New Year at a dance hall popular with older Asian Americans. Police eventually confronted the shooter after receiving a tip on where he was. He then died by a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" about 11:35 p.m., police said."We have no idea why he came to campus to do this tonight. That is part of our ongoing investigation," the deputy chief said.
Zimbo said the woman left to find a friend's car while he returned to his SUV and threw a blanket over himself to hide for three hours.
