Several New Jersey schools were closed on Tuesday "out of an abundance of caution" after Michigan State University shooter Anthony McRae was found with a note in his pocket that "indicated a threat" to two schools in Ewing Township, officials said.
All five public schools in the district were closed on Tuesday and are expected to resume normal operations on Wednesday, Ewing Public Schools Superintendent Dr. David Gentile said in a statement, after local police deemed there was no threat to the facilities.
Police said McRae, 43, was found dead after the shooting at Michigan State from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. During the police investigation into McRae and his actions at Michigan State, which left three people dead and five injured on Monday, information was found indicating that he had "local ties to Ewing Township."
The note police found mentioned Ewing High School and Fisher Middle School, according to Gentile.
