On Monday, February 13, 2023, a school shooting occurred in two buildings on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, Michigan, United States. Three students were killed and five others injured. The gunman, 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound when he was confronted by police off campus three hours later.
In the aftermath of the shooting, classes at MSU were canceled for the remainder of the week, and they were relocated from the two buildings where the shootings took place for the remainder of the semester. Students and their supporters protested against gun violence at the Michigan State Capitol, and lawmakers promised gun control reforms.
It, along with the Oxford High School shooting, are the deadliest school shootings in Michigan history.
