More information has emerged about a 43-year-old shooter with a previous gun violation who killed three Michigan State University students

Police in Ewing Township, New Jersey, said information received during the investigation indicated the MSU shooter had local ties to the township. When McRae was found by police in Michigan, he had a note in his pocket that"indicated a threat to two Ewing Public Schools," Ewing police said in apost. An investigation revealed that McRae had a history of mental health problems, police said.

"Right now, we're in the mode of making sure that our students are safe, and their emotional well-being is our biggest concern right now, as well as our staff."Interim MSU President Teresa Woodruff said Tuesday that the school has moved to emergency operations for two days to allow students, staff and faculty"to think, grieve and be together" after a"day of shock and heartbreak.

“I am grieving for my fellow Spartans today – for the lives lost, the injured, and all of the students, parents, MSU employees, and local residents who will be living with fear for a long time to come. I am grateful too for the first responders who put their own lives on the line to keep people safe.

Rozman said authorities reviewed security camera footage after the shooting, found frames that included the shooter and released his photo. Officers following up on a tip called in"from an alert citizen" found the killer, he said. Four hours after the first shots were reported, police announced the man’s death. Rozman said that officers had confronted the shooter miles away from the shooting scene and that he died by a “self-inflicted gunshot wound."Ben Finkelstein, a senior, said he was sheltering in place in his room.

"It's far too late for this to be called a wake-up call," he said."The sad truth is I doubt we're going to be the last. Other than that, I'm praying for everybody."
