Staff members at Vanderbilt University sent an email to students using text generated by artificial intelligence to respond to the shooting at Michigan State University that killed three students.

The email, which was sent by the Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Nashville university’s Peabody College, was first reported by student newspaper the Vanderbilt Hustler on Friday. Since then the office has apologized, and its two associate deans are temporarily stepping back.

Michigan State University professor Marco Díaz-Muñoz is still haunted by what he witnessed last Monday night, when a gunman entered his classroom in Berkey Hall, killing two of his students in what he describes as “12 minutes of terror.”

“Those images haunt me. The images of those two girls,” Díaz-Muñoz told The Associated Press.

On Valentine’s Day, the Michigan State University campus was silent. But TikTok was buzzing. 

The night before, a shooter killed three people and wounded five others in two buildings on campus. Between vigils and public memorials, many survivors — alone in their apartments, dorms, and back home with their families — began posting on TikTok, trying to figure out how to heal.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris once again pushed for an "assault weapons" ban after the mass shooting at Michigan State University that left three students dead and five others wounded.

The shooter, identified as 42-year-old Anthony McRae who ended up killing himself, did not use a rifle to carry out the attack. His motive for the shooting is still unclear but an "assault weapons" ban would not have prevented the tragedy. Still, Democrats have said the recent shooting is a reason for more gun control laws.

The gunman who police said killed three students and injured five others on Michigan State University’s campus Monday night turned “evil and mean” and became a recluse after his mother's death two years ago, his father said Tuesday in an interview.

Anthony McRae, 43, had a difficult time handling the loss of his mother, Linda McRae, and his demeanor and outlook on life “changed” after she died of a stroke on Sept. 13, 2020, according to his father, Michael McRae.

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. 

A college student who survived the deadly shooting that killed three students and critically wounded five others Monday night at Michigan State University was also at the horrific Sandy Hook massacre over 10 years ago.

“I am 21 years old, and this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through,” Jackie Matthews said in an emotional TikTok video shared early Tuesday.

Now a senior at MSU, Matthews was a student at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012, when gunman Adam Lanza killed 20 students and six teachers and staff. 

A gunman shot and killed three students and injured five others on the campus of Michigan State University Monday night before fatally shooting himself, police said.

Local authorities said the suspect, a 43-year-old man named Anthony Dwayne McRae, was found dead off the campus in East Lansing, Mich., from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police said the suspect initially fled the scene on foot. Law enforcement located him roughly three hours later, using a tip from a local resident. He appeared to shoot himself after police confronted him.
