A gunman suspected of killing three people and injuring five more at a US university has been found dead
The attacks began at 8.18pm local time on Monday when shots were fired at Berkey Hall on the East Lansing campus of Michigan State University.
About four hours after the alarm was raised for the first time, police said they found the gunman dead away from the campus with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. That followed "contact" with law enforcement, they said.At least five more victims were at Sparrow Hospital, said hospital spokesperson John Foren, who had no information on their conditions.Authorities ordered students and staff to shelter in place after a report of shots fired shortly after 8.
The alert advised students and staff to "Secure-in-Place immediately" and to monitor alert.msu.edu for information.Separately, police reported a shooting at IM East, a recreational centre for students.Aedan Kelley, a junior who lives a half-mile east of campus, said he locked his doors and covered his windows "just in case". Sirens were constant, he said, and a helicopter hovered overhead.
"It's all very frightening," Mr Kelley said. "And then I have all these people texting me wondering if I'm OK, which is overwhelming."
