On Monday night, tragedy struck the campus of Michigan State University when a gunman opened fire, killing three people and wounding five. On Thursday, officials revealed that the shooter, Anthony McRae, had two legally purchased guns, ammunition and a note threatening violence when he was found.
Deputy campus police chief Chris Rozman said that McRae had two 9 mm handguns, additional magazines and ammunition on him when he killed himself after being confronted by police. Investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the attack, but Rozman said that McRae was a loner who felt he was slighted in some way.
