The man suspected of shooting 8 people, killing 3, on Monday at Michigan State University has been identifed as 43-year-old Anthony McRae. Here's what we know about the suspect.
Anthony McRae, 43, is captured on surveillance video just moments after the shooting on campus at Michigan State University.Gunfire erupted inside the halls of two Michigan State University buildings on Monday. It ended with three people dead and five others hospitalized with critical injuries – all of which all students – and police said they targeted by a man with zero connection to the university.
After the shooting, the man then was on the run for several hours, parking a campus-wide and eventually larger, manhunt that included dozens of police agencies. He was ultimately found dead after taking his own life in Lansing, about four miles from campus. After the two shooting scenes, police scoured the campus in the search for McRae but he was able to slip off campus before police arrived. At 11 p.m., they released two surveillance photos of McRae as more and more police agencies arrived in East Lansing to assist with the search.
He admitted to having a gun and said that he didn't have a concealed weapons permit. When questioned by police, he said he was walking to the store for cigarettes and feared for his safety so he brought the gun with him.
