1 dead, 5 injured in Michigan State shooting; suspect on the loose 

At least one person was fatally shot and five others were injured after a gunman opened fire at Michigan State University on Monday evening. 

The shooting began at 8:18 p.m. at Berkeley Hall on campus, said Chris Rozman, the interim deputy chief of Michigan State University Police. Police arrived at the scene within minutes. However, police received reports of a second shooting at a nearby location.

“The incident did move to a building in close proximity—the Michigan State Union building, where there was another report of a shooting immediately after the report of the first incident,” he added.

The five individuals that were injured were transported to a nearby hospital, a police spokesman said during a briefing. Some of them sustained life-threatening injuries. 

Police are asking people on campus to “remain sheltered in place” as authorities look for the shooter. 

“MSU ALERT: There have been shots fired near Berkey Hall on the East Lansing campus. Please secure-in-place immediately. Police are active on the scene. More information to follow,” the university tweeted. 

The suspect was “last seen leaving the MSU Union on foot on the north side of the building” on foot. On Monday night, police released a photograph of the man. He is described as a short black male, wearing a baseball cap, jean jacket, red shoes, and a mask. 

This is a developing story.
