It's unclear when or if Michigan State will make up its game against Minnesota after a shooting on campus resulted in three deaths and five other serious injuries, along with the death of the alleged shooter.
. “The next 48 hours are going to be excruciating for so many families and that’s really where the focus should be.”
MSU officials postponing athletic events due to the shooting falls in line with how other schools the past two decades proceeded after similar incidents. Fifteen years ago, on Feb. 14, 2008, a man shot and killed five Northern Illinois students and injured 17 others before taking his own life. The school canceled all athletic events home and away for the next three days, including two home basketball games.
Following a shooting Nov. 13, 2022, that killed three football players and injured another, the University of Virginia canceled its final two football games of the season and a men's basketball game against Northern Iowa scheduled for the day after the incident. Big Ten schools have not experienced a campus shooting of this significance since Nov. 1, 1991, when a former University of Iowa graduate student shot and killed five faculty members and injured another before the gunman died by suicide. The Hawkeyes’ football team played on the road the next day and won at Ohio State.
