Yes, it’s on local news. My sis lives about a mile south and heard all the sirens. My friends son lives in an off-campus apt but very close to Berkey hall where it started. News is confirming 1 dead so far but more injuries and shooter still at large (with multiple other locations of shots fired though not confirmed)

Multiple, multiple agencies on scene. Helicopters flying overhead. Slowly clearing and securing buildings. Very local to me. Have gotten multiple mass texts and phone calls from MSU police.

There have been lots of reports indicating 3 shooters but so far, police are confirming only 1 (that’s not to say they won’t release an update later) Pam |

On the radio, they keep saying "shooters"
Hopefully they get the person(s) soon.

CNN said 5 we're taken to hospital, some have life threatening injuries. Even local news (Little Rock AR media market) carried the first press conference. (At least NBC affiliate did).

We just heard on the scanner that there is a subject down, matching the suspect's description. DOA.

Yawn, another day another shooting. ‘Merica Your comment is not okay. What’s not ok is that these events continue to happen and a huge number or Americans think it’s impossible to stop them. They’re too obsessed with their own ability to own guns to give a shit about Americans getting slaughtered, including our children. It’s just thoughts and prayers and never meaningful change. THAT’s what’s not ok. That’s what’s crass. |

It's all over the news here (Michigan). Reports says the shooter was a 43 year old man who was not a student or staff member, current or former.
I know several students there. The ones that uses FB or I am friends with their parents have all checked in and are safe.

We are becoming immune to these absolute disasters. Only 24 posts so far on this thread..
***
All others want is their guns. Doesn't' matter who gets killed, particularly our kids and young people. They sit in their well funded fake ivory towers looking down at the working people, us, wishing we would go away. DeSantis wants to be president while he is trying to clear Florida of all values of freedom and talking of denying AP courses to Florida students. We are next, remember that. The rot is spreading. He with his IVY LEAGUE education...
He wants us barefoot, pregnant, uneducated, poor, subservient to his will. It includes our boys too, not just girls. Only his chosen will be worth any thing.

I was in bed early last night so I missed all of this. I'm texting all my friends with kids there this morning to make sure everyone is safe. This is a terrible tragedy.

So sad and scary to wake up to this. I think any numbness is based in self preservation due to the increased worry and anxiety these incidents cause. Along with the hopelessness that there isn’t anything we can do. But in reality we need to fight for and demand changes.

The #1 cause of death for children in the US is guns. As far as I'm concerned, college students fall right in there. Don't split hairs with me on it.
I saw a reel on IG from a young lady who is a student there who is also a survivor of Sandy Hook. Several students AR freshmen who survived Oxford last year.
We are the bad place. I'm angry for the trauma and loss MSU is experiencing.

Sadly, this has become part of the norm in our society. People are just collateral damage for the gun worshipers in this country. I know longer wonder if it will happen to someone I know. I wonder when. We had a shooter at Target in Omaha. It appeared it was suicide by cop as he didn't shoot anyone, but the fear and terror it caused to shoppers is real. Another person with diagnoses mental illness that was able to acquire a weapon.
I'm not scared of drag queens, and trans people, and books, etc. I am scared of people with guns.
