Mucho in the morning. It's interesting. I'm following the news, but then also following text messages I'm getting from some law enforcement friends that are giving me details about the investigation that's going on right now. They're now learning more about this person that killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound last night. And they're going to have an update in just a little bit. Actually, in a few moments, they're going to actually do a press conference. Before they do the press conference, and I might jump into it, let me play for you guys this. This is ABC's Good Morning America covering the shooting on campus at Michigan State. And we'll get the press conference here in just a second.

00:02:20 - 00:02:25 | Speaker 4:

Overnight horror at Michigan State University after a gunman opened fire at multiple locations.

00:02:26 - 00:02:36 | Speaker 7:

Oh, hit the wrong button. Sorry about that. Student, faculty, staff. And we have no idea why he came to campus to do this.

00:02:36 - 00:02:45 | Speaker 4:

The suspect, a 43-year-old male, also dead after an intense, hours-long manhunt. Authorities saying he died from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot.

00:02:46 - 00:02:54 | Speaker 6:

Requesting all units to respond to stations. Have an active shooter at 509 East Circuit Drive at Berkey Hall and MSU's campus.

00:02:54 - 00:03:09 | Speaker 4:

The chaos unfolding Monday night around 8.18 p.m. when police say they received multiple 911 calls about a shooting at Berkey Hall. Officials arriving on scene immediately. where they discovered several victims, two of them dead.

00:03:09 - 00:03:12 | Speaker 6:

Sounds like the shooter is currently in the union building.

00:03:12 - 00:03:48 | Speaker 4:

Shortly after, police hearing reports of a second shooting at the nearby MSU union building, where the shooter allegedly killed his third victim. The FBI, among the hundreds of law enforcement officials, urgently searching for the gunman, who was on the loose for hours. Police releasing these images of the suspect, describing him as a short black male, seen here with a mask on. The manhunt coming to an end when authorities located him off campus after midnight, where police say the suspect turned the gun on himself. Oh my God. These 12 students barricading themselves in the library.

00:03:48 - 00:03:59 | Speaker 5:

This table was already sitting in here, and then we took these tables from outside in the library, and then we moved the shelf to cover the window.

00:04:00 - 00:04:02 | Speaker 4:

Families desperate to reach their loved ones.

00:04:02 - 00:04:26 | Speaker 1:

I called my mom and she was in shock. She was terrified. You know, you never want your kids to call you and say, oh, hey, by the way, the school is is under attack. It's getting shot up a block away from me and I can't guarantee my safety. I mean, the fact that this is going on for three hours now and I have to constantly call my mom every 20 minutes here crying, hoping I'm OK. It's not OK. It shouldn't happen.

00:04:26 - 00:04:39 | Speaker 4:

authorities say five victims were hospitalized in critical condition investigators now working to learn more about this gunman and why he would do this rebecca all right so that was good morning

00:04:39 - 00:04:51 | Speaker 7:

america we're going to go to a press conference right now that is uh on campus uh at michigan state university uh led by uh governor gretchen whitmer who is uh leading that um thank you

00:04:51 - 00:07:48 | Speaker 2:

everybody. Our Spartan community is reeling today. I want to start by thanking law enforcement, including the Michigan State University Police, the Michigan State Police, the FBI, all of our local agencies, first responders, local departments, and officers as far away as Oakland County for their efforts last night. I also want to thank the incredible medical professionals at Sparrow who are working hard to care for those injured, as well as all the community members that shared tips so that our law enforcement could act. We mourn the loss of beautiful souls today and pray for those who are continuing to fight for their lives. Every Spartan student, parent, and staff member should know that Michiganders and Americans everywhere are thinking of you today. President Biden and I spoke last night. He pledged his support and the thoughts of an entire nation, and we will work together to do what is necessary to help MSU community heal. We're all broken by an all-too-familiar feeling, another place that is supposed to be about community and togetherness, shattered by bullets and bloodshed. We know this is a uniquely American problem. Today is the fifth anniversary of the Parkland shooting. For mere weeks past the Lunar New Year shooting at a dance hall, and a few months past a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, and looking back at a year marked by shootings at grocery stores, parades, and so many other ordinary, everyday situations, we cannot keep living like this. Our children are scared to go to school. People feel unsafe in their houses of worship or local stores. Too many of us scan rooms for exits when we enter them. And many of us have gone through the grim exercise of figuring out who our last call would be to. Last night, a lot of kids on this campus made those calls. They worried for their lives and for their friends, for their fellow Spartans. Parents across Michigan were on pins and needles, calling their kids to tell them that they love them. As parents, we tell our kids, it's gonna be okay. We say that all the time. But the truth is, words are not good enough. We must act and we will. But today, let's hold the MSU and East Lansing communities close. And let's think of the families and friends of those who have lost, those fighting for their lives, and the countless Michiganders whose lives are forever changed by yesterday's shooting.

00:07:49 - 00:08:01 | Speaker 2:

We will get through this together, and we will do it with the full support of the state of Michigan and the U.S. federal government. And with that, I would like to hand this over to our Congresswoman, Alyssa Slotkin.

00:08:03 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 1:

Thanks, Governor. I want to echo what the governor said about the response of law enforcement. Those of you who might have been listening on the scanner, you heard how deeply complex this operation was yesterday with young people calling in tips constantly with just an unbelievably difficult area of environment to navigate. Law enforcement did an incredible job. We had hundreds respond from across the state. and I just I think it's a testament to those who hold the thin blue line for us the ones that hesitate or do not hesitate when we need them and I think we should recognize how desperately needed they were last night in our society in general I want to thank the doctors and nurses and staff at Sparrow Hospital they were on it no one wants to live through a mass shooting like this, but they were prepared and they handled it with grace and humanity. As the representative of Oxford, Michigan, I cannot believe that I am here again doing this 15 months later. And I am filled with rage that we have to have another press conference to talk about our children being killed in their schools. And I would say that you either care about protecting kids or you don't. You either care about having an open, honest conversation about what is going on in our society or you don't. But please don't tell me you care about the safety of children if you're not willing to have a conversation about keeping them safe in a place that should be a sanctuary. Now, the Spartan community is incredibly connected and proud. We've already seen people come together. But for me, the most haunting picture of last night was watching the cameras pan through the crowds and seeing a young person wearing an Oxford Strong sweatshirt.

00:10:00 - 00:10:39 | Speaker 2:

sweatshirts that were handed out after those kids lived through a school shooting 15 months ago, and we have children in Michigan who are living through their second school shooting in under a year and a half. If this is not a wake-up call to do something, I don't know what is. In the meantime, I feel confident that our law enforcement is doing everything that they can to understand the situation. I'm thrilled that federal law enforcement is on scene bringing their resources to the fight. We're not going to rest until we understand. But I think the fact that we're having this conference so quickly after another mass shooting in our state should be a statement in and of itself. Thanks very much.

00:10:42 - 00:10:49 | Speaker 5:

You're listening to the press conference going on right now in East Lansing after the shooting

00:10:49 - 00:11:16 | Speaker 3:

last night. Mayor Ron Bacon, East Lansing. At Michigan State University. City of Lansing. This is the morning that nobody ever wants to have. This is the day that nobody ever wants to be standing up at a lectern. When you get elected, you want to talk about the great things in your community and not this. But here we are. I do want to thank the Lansing residents who stood up. These many, many tips you've heard about came in from many of our residents. And as
