Local reports said the shooting occurred at 8:18 p.m. inside Berkley Hall and another at IM East. Authorities are currently securing the area and said the suspect is still at large.

MSU officials said in a statement that all campus activities are officially canceled for 48 hours and urged all students and staff not to come to campus tomorrow.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson released a statement on her official Twitter page, called the shootings “unfathomable,” and asked the community to unite to prevent gun violence. “The collective grief, heartbreak & horror unfolding at Michigan State tonight is unfathomable. Holding the entire MSU community in my heart. This repetitive terror cannot continue. We must come together and do whatever it takes to protect our kids & communities from gun violence,” she wrote in the tweet.
