EAST LANSING (WWJ) – Michigan State University students are being told to shelter in place Monday night after a report of shots fired on campus.
Police say a male suspect, who is still at large, has shot at least five people on campus, leaving some with life-threatening injuries.
He was described as a short man with a jean jacket and ball cap, said Chris Rozman, interim deputy chief of campus PD.
MSU Police and Public Safety officials said on Twitter it happened near Berkey Hall on the East Lansing campus.
Police were active on-scene and asking everyone in the area to “secure-in-place immediately.”
Students received an alert from the school telling them to "Run, Hide, Fight," according to posts on social media.
MSU Public Safety officials said the suspect "is believed to be on foot right now. Community members on and off campus should continue to shelter in place. Police are continuing to respond."
Police were searching the student union in search of the shooter.
"As police handle the incident at MSU there is going to be a lot of guessing and rumors," Michigan State Police said on Twitter. Follow @msupolice for the most accurate information. As of right now they want people to shelter and remember the principles of Run Hide Fight. Adding to the speculation helps no one."
