1:30. see a 1:30 and that wraps the press conference from east lansing, michigan, michigan state university deputy police chief, chris rawls been giving an update. the newest information that we, have the shooter, the suspect has died from a self inflicted gunshot wound. it is no longer an active threat on canvas. the stay in place orders have, lifted the campus will be shut down for the next 48 hours, as the investigation continues, and the morning begins. charles, your reaction? that extraordinary police officer, all of them, but specifically the deputy police chief, chris was, when you can see how traumatized he is tonight. there are so many different pieces to what we know and what we don t know about the situation. i think the response from the
off campus. that ll be part of our investigation as well, i don t have any details on how that incident transpired. sir. what was the first time the call came in? the first report we received was at 8:18 pretty pm. we responded in force, we had officers on, seen not only from msu police and public safety, but east lansing please department. initially responded to that scene had officers in the building, following their active shooter protocol, and going towards the threat. while officers were in berkey all, the suspect moved over to the union and when the incident took place, their officers quickly re-deployed to the union, and that s which was a point he was last seen. let s do one more question,
each building. any witnesses that need to come forward to try to piece the sequence of events together. are any campus that supported through the last few days of social media. how to police find a suspect in the shooting prior to the police infraction? we didn t receive any threat to campus in the last several days, or before this incident. we have not received any threats to our knowledge. obviously when our state and federal partners are constantly monitoring different sources to provide information to us, and my knowledge right now, we re not aware of a threat before this. what is the second part of your question? how did y all stop the suspect, didi make contact with you guys? i don t have the particular details it on the counter that happened when the law enforcement conducted
immediately started sending out updates from the media department, and making sure that we are on top of everything. so i m really grateful for them. i m really grateful you are joining us tonight. how did your mom hear about it before you did? yuck i didn t see the alerts at the time. i was in a meeting. over voice chat. i didn t have the phone directly in front of me. has the campus prepared you for anything like this, potentially happening at some point, not that would be unique to michigan state, but sadly school shootings across the country.
conference that should be starting any moment now. gentlemen, it s now, midnight this began at 8 pm. how concerning is it to you that this man is still at large. jim? very concerned about, it because it s highly populated, urban campus, and he could be anywhere in the shadows. there we see that first picture, steph, where he s got a handgun, he s holding in his right hand, it looks like he s got it concealed in a jacket pocket, probably. he s pulling it out there eases entering the building. he s probably walking around the campus, he walks inside, pulls out the pistol, because he wants the killer confront someone. he s a very recognizable clothing, i d say, and the people to know this, man or have seen him tonight, would recognize him. the red shoes, the hat with a death or different colored bill. and the white collar sticking out of a denim coat. i think people who know him will recognize him from this dress.
