Several shots were reported Monday evening near a university campus in the northern United States. The first reports show at least three dead and 5 wounded while the suspect has just been located. According to authorities, the man inflicted a gunshot wound to himself.
Residents of the Lansing campus, located west of Detroit, hold their breath. This Monday, February 13, an armed man opened fire on several people and sowed panic within this university campus in the north of the United States. Unfortunately, this type of drama is too often talked about among our neighbors across the Atlantic where access to firearms makes this kind of situation all too common. We still remember the shooting that took place in the heart of Paris last December or the killing that took place in a nursery in Thailand causing the death of 35 people. We may be used to hearing these stories in the press, but the traumatic nature of such events is no less.
The evening was long for the residents of the Lansing campus where an armed man decided to open fire on Monday evening. The first reports show at least 3 dead in this shooting as well as several wounded. The police reacted quickly to the situation and called on local residents to stay locked up in their homes while the suspect is still at large.
