Michigan State Police is assisting with the investigation as well and is urging people not to head to campus.
“Please do not go to MSU right now. Yes, its hard to do when you have loved ones on campus or adjacent to the campus. But it is far too dangerous as this armed suspect is moving in the area and police attempt to take them into custody. As always scanner traffic is inaccurate,” MSP said.
