Gunshots were reported Monday on the campus of Lansing, a city west of Detroit in the northern United States.
A suspect, visibly alone and on foot, opened fire on Monday evening on a campus in the northern United States and injured several people, announced the police of the Michigan State University, who called for confinement .
“There are reports of several injuries,” wrote the University’s security service on Twitter, assuring that “the police are intervening.” The university will remain closed for the next 48 hours, we also learned that night.
Only one suspect
“The suspect is believed to be on foot at this time,” he wrote, calling on residents “on and off campus to self-isolate.” “We are still receiving numerous calls reporting an active shooter.”
“It appears there is only one suspect at this hour,” campus police added, describing him as “a small, possibly black, man with a mask.”
“Michigan State Police, University Police, local law enforcement, and emergency services are on scene,” Governor Gretchen Whitmer said on an update.
The United States pays a very heavy price for the spread of firearms in its territory and the ease with which Americans have access to them. The country has more individual weapons than inhabitants: one in three adults owns at least one weapon and nearly one in two adults lives in a home where there is a weapon.
