00:02:30 - 00:02:30 | Unknown:

Showtime.

00:02:48 - 00:03:02 | Speaker 7:

We start off the morning with a horrible tragedy. that we will discuss after Shannon gives us the latest news on the shooting on campus at Michigan State University.

00:03:02 - 00:03:23 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, the latest update that we have this morning, three people are confirmed dead and five others critically injured. We don't know if those are Michigan State students or faculty at this time. The school sent an alert at 8.31 yesterday evening telling students to run, hide, fight with a report of shots fired on campus.

00:03:23 - 00:03:30 | Speaker 5:

They told us to lay down on the ground so we couldn't be seen. I don't know where everyone is. I don't know where one of my friends are. She's locked in a room in the cafeteria right now.

00:03:30 - 00:03:48 | Speaker 1:

Now, this suspected shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was a 43-year-old man not affiliated with Michigan State. Speaking just before 2 a.m. at a news conference, interim Michigan State University President Teresa Woodruff said the university would move to emergency operations for the next two days.

00:03:48 - 00:04:27 | Speaker 6:

We will take two days where we will move to emergency operation to give ourselves time to think and to grieve and to be together. And this Spartan community, this family, will come back together. There is little else that can be said other than we are a community that is knit together by each other, and we will hold each other up. in moments of grief, as well as celebration. But today we come together as a family and we

00:04:27 - 00:04:44 | Speaker 1:

grieve together. Again, three dead, five critically injured, part of Governor Gretchen Whitmer's statement last night. Too many of us scan rooms for exits when we enter them. We plan who that last text or call would go to. We should not, we cannot accept living like this.

00:04:44 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 7:

we'll have more on this uh throughout the morning actually we'll continue to make this our our focus for you uh as you're waking up this morning again uh another shooting another uh

00:05:00 - 00:07:04 | Speaker 3:

Turns out to be, what, 67 since January. Not 67 in the last 12 months. 67 in the last month and a half shootings. And now it's us again close to home. Welcome to the Mojo in the Morning show. Last night, all of us were getting ready to go to bed when we started getting the alerts. And my alerts that I was getting was coming from those that are friends of ours, friends of the family, friends of my son who next year will be on that campus going to school and them just checking in with us because they wanted an ear, somebody that, you know, or somebody that they thought was in the know. I mean, I had more parents calling Chelsea and myself up last night because they thought because I work in, you know, the media that I would know exactly what's going on, where everything was. And honestly, I was as lost as as these, you know, horribly terrified parents were. And then I made the horrible mistake of listening to that scanner, the police scanner, which total praise to the 911 operators, especially the woman that was doing it because she's just relaying information to officers who, by the way, came in from out of state. There were police, EMS, FBI, these federal agents and local police law enforcement that heard what was going on and similar to what took place at Oxford High School in our area, they all just raced to the scene because they knew that a campus police department along with an East Lansing police department and the Michigan State Police, that they would need help. especially, you know, knowing that there's going to be a lot of even just traffic issues and then just trying to calm people.

00:07:05 - 00:07:34 | Speaker 1:

But I mean, you just said with 67 mass shootings in this country, I was thinking last night, I was just turning my light off and going to bed when text started coming to me from people on campus. And we didn't have any information yet. And one of my first thoughts was there are Oxford students who survived a shooting 14 months ago, two weeks ago and one day ago. that are now on campus at Michigan State for the second time in 14 months having to deal with this.

00:07:34 - 00:09:17 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, I actually saw the Free Press has an interview with one of those college freshmen. And not to say that there may not even be somebody that may have gone to one of the other schools around the country that there's been a shooting at. Today's the fifth year anniversary of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting on Valentine's Day, that horrible thing. But it was wild listed in that scanner last night. And to hear the law enforcement who you can hear the terror in their voices, you know, as they're they're going building the building, trying to figure out exactly what was was happening. and then to see the alert and read the alert that was sent out at 8 31 p.m. telling students to run hide fight that was with the alert from the michigan state university uh uh you know text and and tweets and everything that was sent out and the alerts that went to the parents and i i turned to chelsea and i looked at her and spike you have you know daughters in college and i've had two sons go through school and are currently in school and i said to chelsea i go uh i go we're gonna get those alerts next year because those alerts are gonna come to us with luke going to school there and then i started thinking about what i would do as a parent and we were talking to one of our very good friends karen bolton and we were talking to her and you know trying to calm her about her two sons that go on to go to school uh they're both of them on campus and thinking like what would we do as parents and i said to chelsea i go i know this is the bad thing because they don't want you in the area i'd get in the car and immediately try

00:09:17 - 00:09:43 | Speaker 2:

to get up there yeah that was so scary i had one of my very good girlfriends tammy her daughter goes to state and so she was getting updates thank goodness she got the call right away that she that ainsley was safe but she was getting updates of okay now they're telling us to barricade okay now we're hearing this now you know and and that as a parent just has to be so terrifying to know that your child is right in the middle of what you are looking up at the tv and watching yeah and

00:09:43 - 00:09:55 | Speaker 3:

Actually, I can tell you this, I tried to watch the TV to see if they had news. The local TV, even the local TV in Lansing had nothing on this.

00:09:55 - 00:09:57 | Speaker 2:

And I couldn't listen to the police scanner.

00:09:57 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 3:

That was the only way that you could figure it out.

00:10:00 - 00:10:10 | Speaker 1:

you know who you know who the who we've ended up turning towards that was giving us updates were like karen's sons right because you know they were in yeah they were in dorms and they were

00:10:10 - 00:10:32 | Speaker 5:

in apartments and which they were all hearing so many different things as well so that was equally as terrifying to be getting updates from the students because you know there there was a lot of misinformation happening at the time of there were you know this many shooters and they and they've all spread out and there are this many dead i mean it it was it was just it it was awful

00:10:32 - 00:12:02 | Speaker 1:

yeah it's a it's a it's all as the governor said this is all too common that you you you know in this day and age that now we uh you know think of the worst that can happen and and this was something that honestly i never had to to deal with uh as a as a child the other thing too is how crazy is it when we were checking in with some of our friends, kids, and some of Luke's buddies that they were so a matter of fact. The kids become so a matter of fact about this because this has been happening so much. But just to recap, and we will keep you up to date on this one, a shooting on campus at Michigan State University, three fatalities. there are five uh holding on to life right now at the hospital are thoughts uh you know and we always say no thoughts no prayers you know in this but honestly i'm praying and i'm praying hard because i can't imagine that that would be one of my children or my spouse we don't know if they're if the the fatalities or any of the injured were you know uh teachers yeah um but uh Comments from you, 844-MOJO-LIVE, 844-665-6548, and text is 95500. Hi, Ben. What's going on?

00:12:03 - 00:12:04 | Speaker 4:

Hey, how's it going, Mojo?

00:12:05 - 00:12:11 | Speaker 1:

Ben, it's a tough one, and it's a tough one for you. You're a parent of a Spartan?

00:12:12 - 00:12:13 | Speaker 4:

Yes, I am.

00:12:13 - 00:12:16 | Speaker 1:

Tell me how last night was for you, Ben.

00:12:16 - 00:12:25 | Speaker 4:

uh nerve-wracking exhausted did everything i could not to hop in my truck to get up there

00:12:25 - 00:12:48 | Speaker 1:

and what uh you have a son or daughter that goes to school there my daughter and how uh how old is she what year is she at uh michigan state a sophomore year wow so so you know you in here she is she's trying to get a sense of normalcy because of what covid did for her right and now this happens.

00:12:50 - 00:13:01 | Speaker 4:

Well, she texted us and we stayed. We told her to barricade the doors, turn off the lights, say hello.

00:13:02 - 00:13:07 | Speaker 1:

Was it hard to get in touch with her? Did you have a difficulty to get in touch with her or was she in contact right away?

00:13:09 - 00:13:21 | Speaker 4:

No, she contacted right away. She texted us, let us know that they had an active shooter on the campus. And then she texted us, oh, and, you know, she texted me that app with the scanner, and I, like, blew my mind with that.

00:13:22 - 00:13:30 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. How terrifying is that alert? Run, hide, fight. Yeah. It feels like it would be absolutely terrifying.

00:13:30 - 00:14:03 | Speaker 3:

And then the silence afterwards of not knowing what's happening. I mean, when I was getting texts from my daughter on a campus an hour and a half away because she's talking to all her friends on campus, she's looking for more information, and there is none to be had. My daughter already knew it about at Grand Valley before any news broke on media in Lansing or Detroit. As people are trying to gather information, that's the most helpless a parent can ever feel. I can't even imagine knowing your child is hiding in their dark dorm room. It's supposed to be about joy and fun.

00:14:03 - 00:14:07 | Speaker 1:

Ben, your daughter is a sophomore, so she's in a dorm. What dorm is she in?

00:14:10 - 00:14:10 | Speaker 4:

Holden.

00:14:10 - 00:14:23 | Speaker 1:

So not knowing the campus As well as I'm probably going to have to learn the campus How close was that to the union And where the shootings took place? Berkeley or Berkey Hall

00:14:23 - 00:14:34 | Speaker 4:

Kind of like you Kind of like you with the campus But what I do know is That she was on They were on their way To the union to eat And they decided not to

00:14:34 - 00:14:48 | Speaker 1:

Wow, thank God Well, are you bringing her home? for the next couple of days or next week or what are you doing uh well she said she's good for

00:14:48 - 00:14:54 | Speaker 4:

now but we'll see i don't think i'm gonna be good i might have to take a trip up there yeah yeah

00:14:54 - 00:14:59 | Speaker 1:

yeah that's the way i own it yeah that's uh it's surreal

00:15:00 - 00:16:12 | Speaker 4:

Uh, cause you, you know, we see this on the news and it, this makes it, uh, hit me, you know, more close to home, but it makes it also makes me think the other shootings that we've seen in other cities that we cannot make those shootings just be something that we see on the news, you know? Uh, and, and, and we have to, uh, uh, we have to be vigilant with, uh, with this for the protection of our children, you know? So I am telling you, Ben, I appreciate you calling. I hope that this gave you a little bit of therapy just having a conversation with us today. Yeah, it helped. And our, you know, hope is that these kids that are on this campus, you know, Spartan, one of the things about spartans is man they pull together but the hope is that they can be of comfort to you know those family members that just lost a loved one the uh the thought that there's three right now uh that are that are dead and then there's five that are just
