Cops at Michigan State University said Thursday they still have no clue what compelled 43-year-old Anthony McRae to go on a shooting rampage in February, killing three students he didn’t know.
The unsettling concession that they found “no conclusive motive” came in a sweeping update from authorities, who revealed for the first time that McRae purchased the ammo he used in the massacre just hours before. Cops say he rattled off 18 shots in total, mostly at unarmed students, before turning a gun on himself as officers closed in.
Cops also provided for the first time a minute-by-minute breakdown of the shooting. The summary revealed that McRae hopped off a bus and headed to the heart of Michigan State’s campus in East Lansing, Michigan, on the evening of Feb. 13, just hours before Valentine’s Day. He carried two handguns—both purchased legally, but neither registered with the state—and over 150 rounds of ammunition.The first 911 call to report shots fired came at 8:18 p.m.
Chris Rozman, the chief of Michigan State University Police, said in Thursday’s release that he’s “proud” of his detectives who’ve been “working tirelessly,” despite coming up empty when trying to identify a motive. The best insight into what drove McRae to kill, cops said, was a rambling note recovered from the shooting scene.
McRae’s dad, Michael McRae, told NBC News after the shooting that his son had grown increasingly bitter and isolated after his mom died of a stroke in 2020.
