The police said a caller's tip led them to the gunman, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The shirts were handed out to survivors of the Oxford High School shooting near Detroit, Michigan 15 months ago. He was not a student, faculty, or staff, current or previous," Chris Rozman of the Michigan State University Police said. "If this is not a wake-up call to do something, I don't know what is." In a text message, the daughter said: "I heard somebody get shot, Mom. I could smell the gunpowder." Police said the suspect then walked over to the nearby MSU Union building, where they received several more reports of gunshots. Meanwhile, police in New Jersey said a town's public and private schools were closed on Tuesday due to a threat connected to the Michigan State suspect. The shooting is the latest in a growing number in schools and college campuses across the US. Some reported on social media that they were hiding. "We went to school here, we got children here, we got family, this is us," said Marlon Lynch, chief of campus police at the university. The victims were all students at the university, police said, and the injured remain in critical condition. Three students were killed and five others injured after a gunman opened fire on the Michigan State University (MSU) campus on Monday night.

Kunkel and about 13 other students turned off the lights and acted like there “was a shooter right outside the door”, he said. “As soon as I fell out of the window I kind of hit the ground a little. He let off four more rounds and when it went silent for about 30 seconds to a minute, two of my classmates started breaking open a window, and that took about 30 seconds to happen. It was on her pants and her shoes. I just grabbed my backpack and my phone, and I remember I just ran for my life.” Dominik Molotky said he was learning about Cuban history around 8.15pm when he and the other students heard a gunshot outside the classroom.
