Three people were killed and at least five others were injured after a gunman opened fire at Michigan State University on Monday night before turning the gun on himself, officials said.
The lone suspect, a 43-year-old not affiliated with the university, shot up two separate buildings on campus and terrified students for roughly four hours while he remained at large, police said.
Suspect is not university affiliated, a black male, no known motive.
Memory holed in 12 hours tops.

Democrats rapidly and wrongly assume the Monterey Park atrocity was racially motivated. The shooter and victims were all Asian
In the wake of Saturday’s horrific shooting at a Lunar New Year celebration in the heavily Asian neighborhood of Monterey Park, California, Democratic lawmakers sprang into action, speculating that the violence may have been racially motivated. Hours later it emerged that the shooter was himself also Asian.
Seven people were fatally shot at a farm and another business in California’s Half Moon Bay Monday — and a suspect later turned himself in to authorities, according to reports.
The victims were killed in the shootings at Mountain Mushroom Farm and Rice Trucking-Soil Farm, a landscaping supply company, in the small city along the Golden State’s coast, NBC Bay Area reported.
A horrific mass shooting took place at a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park, CA, which is located near Los Angeles.
Ten people were killed, and at least that many were injured. The victims were Asian, and the internet exploded with both horror and outrage at this example of growing anti-Asian hate. Time to ban White people or something.
MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (AP) — Authorities searched for a motive for the gunman who killed 10 people at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance club during Lunar New Year celebrations, slayings that sent a wave of fear through Asian American communities and cast a shadow over festivities nationwide.
The suspect, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday in the van that authorities say he used to flee after being prevented from attacking another dance hall. A man whose family runs the venue confronted the assailant in the lobby and wrested the gun from him, The New York Times reported.
The massacre in Monterey Park was the nation’s fifth mass killing this month — and it struck one of California’s largest celebrations of a holiday observed in many Asian cultures, dealing another blow to a community that has been the target of high-profile violence in recent years.
Monterey gunman thought dance instructors said ‘evil things about him’
The gunman who slaughtered 10 people at a California dance club before killing himself had been a regular patron at the venue — and believed that the instructors said “evil things about him.”
Huu Can Tran, 72, opened fire at Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park late Saturday with a semi-automatic pistol, killing 10 people and wounding at least 10 others before storming the rival Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio, where a bystander disarmed him.

Update: Driver of white van ‘may have shot himself’ – report
Eyewitness accounts have said the driver of the parked van, in Torrance, which is south of Monterey Park, appears to be slouched over the wheel without moving.
“As officers gave commands for the occupant to exit the van, they heard and believed the driver may have shot himself,” CNN’s John Valerio wrote on Twitter a short while ago.

Update – California cops hunt ‘Asian man’ over Chinese Lunar New Year dance studio massacre but ‘unclear’ if linked to second shooting two miles away: Ten dead – five men and five woman – and ten hospitalized
Law enforcement in California say the suspect in the Chinese New Year dance club massacre has been described as an ‘Asian man,’ and that it remains unclear if the suspect is linked to another shooting two miles down the road.
The update arrived as a desperate manhunt remains underway by law enforcement in the Los Angeles area after a gunman left 10 dead and another 10 hospitalized at a Monterey Park dance hall on Saturday night.
MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (AP) — A gunman killed 10 people and wounded 10 others at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance club following a Lunar New Year celebration, setting off a manhunt for the suspect in the fifth mass killing in the U.S. this month.
Capt. Andrew Meyer of the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Sunday that the wounded were taken to hospitals and their conditions range from stable to critical. He said the 10 people died at the scene in the city of Monterey Park.
Meyer said people were “pouring out of the location screaming” when officers arrived at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday. He said officers then went into the ballroom and found victims as firefighters treated the wounded.

While the media has us focused on the “knife violence” miscreant in Utah and the circus clowns in D.C., “gun enthusiasts” have been blazing up our streets in 15 states and our nation’s capital.
Let’s take a look at the bumper crop of mass shootings we’ve had thus far in 2023.
A gunman has opened fire in central Paris, killing three people and wounding four others.
Witnesses said the attacker targeted a Kurdish community centre and restaurant and prosecutors said they would look into a possible racist motive.
A suspect aged 69 was quickly arrested and it soon emerged he was freed from custody recently.
Authorities appealed for people to avoid the area in Strasbourg-Saint Denis in the 10th district of Paris.
There is no confirmed motive for the shooting, but Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau confirmed that that the suspect had just been released, a year after he had attacked tents at a migrant camp in Paris with a sword.

Last year, a Colorado judge dismissed a case against Anderson Lee Aldrich, the shooter who killed five people in a Colorado gay bar last month, despite being alerted that the perpetrator was stockpiling firearms and other weapons.
Five people have been shot and killed in a residential unit in the Greater Toronto Area before the gunman was killed by police, authorities have said.
Police were called to a residential building in Vaughan, north of Toronto, at about 7.20pm on Sunday to reports of an active male shooter who had shot several victims at a condo in in the Ontario city.
Mass shootings are rare in Canada and Toronto has long prided itself as being one of the safest big cities in the world.

The Sun has a likely motive… also being discussed on Reddit = “Old Italian Guy Mad At Condo Board” – Sources told the Toronto Sun police are investigating multiple shooting scenes at a condo building and are working on a theory that an individual went from unit to unit, attacking six members of the condo board. One of the victims was hospitalized and is expected to survive.
DENVER (AP) — A California woman who warned a judge last year about the danger posed by the suspect in the Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooting said Friday that the deaths could have been prevented if earlier charges against the suspect weren’t dismissed.
Jeanie Streltzoff — a relative of alleged shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich — urged Colorado Judge Robin Chittum in a letter last November to incarcerate the suspect following a 2021 standoff with SWAT teams that uncovered a stockpile of more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms) of explosive material, firearms and ammunition.
Aldrich should have been in prison at the time of the shooting and prevented from obtaining weapons, she told The Associated Press on Friday.
