Michigan State University was swarmed with police, ambulances and fear Monday night as an active shooter situation unfolded, with officials reporting three people dead and five others injured.
The school sent an alert at 8:31 p.m. telling students to run, hide and fight with a report of shots fired on the school's East Lansing campus.
The person suspected in the Michigan State campus shooting that killed three and injured five others is dead, officials said in a news conference after midnight Tuesday morning.
The individual was found off of the East Lansing university's campus and appeared to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Michigan State University Interim Deputy Police Chief Chris Rozman said.
Police had still been seeking the individual as of a prior 11 p.m. news conference and shortly thereafter released surveillance images of the individual.
Rozman said there was no longer a need for community members to shelter in place. Police also said they were unsure of any affiliation the suspect had with the university.
