Michigan, (SONNA)- A gunman opened fire inside an academic hall on Michigan State University’s campus on Monday evening, leaving three people dead and five others wounded, according to police.
The suspect was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound off of MSU’s campus, Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said shortly after midnight.
“This truly has been a nightmare that we are living tonight, but we have remained laser-focused on the safety of our campus, our students, and our surrounding community,” Rozman said.
All five wounded victims, some of whom have life-threatening injuries, were transported to Sparrow Hospital for treatment.
The shooting started at 8:18 p.m. inside Berkey Hall, which is home to MSU’s Department of Sociology on the northern boundary of campus.
MSU canceled classes for the next two days and urged students not to come to campus on Tuesday.
Hundreds of law enforcement officers from the FBI, ATF, Michigan State Police, and other agencies assisted local authorities in securing the campus. The FAA implemented temporary flight restrictions over MSU’s campus through Wednesday.
Investigators are still working to confirm the identity of the suspect. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had any affiliation with the university.
