THIS EVENING, PEOPLE GATHERED AT

VIGIL SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT FOR

THE HOSPITAL AND REMEMBER THE
THREE LIVES LOST FOCUS REMAINS
ON THE VICTIMS AND EVERYONE
AFFECTED AT MSU. WE ARE ALSO
LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE
INVESTIGATION OF THE SHOOTER AND
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED MONDAY
NIGHT. SHAWN LEY WORKING THAT
STORY HAS THE VERY LATEST FROM
EAST LANSING. GOOD EVENING FROM
THE CAMPUS OF MICHIGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY. LEARNING MUCH MORE
TODAY ABOUT THE GUNMAN ABOUT THE
GUNMAN, THE LONER AND HOW HE’S
ABLE TO WALK OFF CAMPUS FOR
HOURS UNDETECTED. HOW DID THE
GUNMAN ANTHONY MCCRAY WALKED
INTO BERKEY HALL SHOOT MSU
STUDENTS WALKED DOWN TO THE
STUDENT UNION TO CONTINUOUS
SHOOTING RAMPAGE AND WITH POLICE
SWARMING, HOW DID MCRAE WALK
AWAY AND ALMOST MAKE IT TO HIS
FATHER’S HOME FIVE MILES AWAY
DUE TO THE NUMBER OF REPORTS
THAT WE WERE RECEIVING ON CAMPUS
? UM WE ACTUALLY AT THE TIME
THOUGHT THAT HE WAS STILL ON
CAMPUS. I MEAN, WE HAD NO
INDICATION AT THE TIME. THAT HE
LEFT CAMPUS CONFIRMED THAT MCRAE
WAS FOUND WITH TWO HANDGUNS
AFTER HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE AS
POLICE CLOSED IN ON HIM THAT
NIGHT. IN A WIDE RANGING UPDATE
TODAY FROM POLICE. THEY
CONFIRMED THE HANDGUNS WERE
LEGALLY PURCHASED BY MCRAE
HELPED WHEN AN INGHAM COUNTY
PROSECUTOR ALLOWED MCRAE TO
PLEAD DOWN A FELONY GUN CHARGE
IN 2019 TO A MISDEMEANOR.
MCRAE’S FATHER TOLD
INVESTIGATORS HIS SON MOVED IN
WITH HIM IN LANSING AFTER HIS
MOTHER DIED IN 2020 AND BECAME
ANGRY AND EVIL AFTER THE
SHOOTING. MONDAY POLICE FOUNDED
OUT ON MCRAE, WHERE HE WROTE
THAT HE WAS THE LEADER OF 20
ADDITIONAL GUNMEN. BUT POLICE
DID NOT BELIEVE THAT, SAYING THE
FATHER QUICKLY TOLD THEM MCRAE
KNEW ESSENTIALLY NO ONE BROUGHT
THAT UP TO HIM, AND HE HAD
MENTIONED THAT HIS SON DOES NOT
HAVE ANY FRIENDS. HE PRETTY MUCH
SAT IN HIS ROOM. MOST OF THE
TIME HE ATE, UM, WENT TO THE
BATHROOM IN THERE, SO HE PRETTY
MUCH NEVER LEFT HIS ROOM AND HIS
FATHER DIDN’T BELIEVE THAT HE
HAD ANY FRIENDS, LET ALONE 20 OF
THEM. AT THE TIME. WE HAD TO
MAKE A DECISION WHETHER WE
BELIEVE THAT THE STATEMENT ABOUT
THERE BEING 20 PEOPLE INVOLVED
WAS CREDIBLE. BASED ON THE
INFORMATION THAT WE HAD AT THE
TIME AND I STAND BY THAT, AND WE
CONTINUE TO STAND BY THAT. WE DO
NOT BELIEVE THAT TO BE ACCURATE,
AND THAT’S WHY WE DID WHAT WE
DID. ALL RIGHT, BACK HERE LIVE.
IMAGINE WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
THERE IS YOU HAVE THE SHOOTING
MSU AND TRYING TO HELP EVERYONE
THERE AND TRYING TO FIND THE
GUNMAN IN 3 3.5. MILES AWAY. YOU
HAVE THIS GUY WHO SHOOTS HIMSELF
AND THEY FIND A NOTE SAYING HE
IS WITH 20 OTHERS. BUT POLICE
SAY THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IT. AT
THAT TIME, THEY GOT THAT NOTE
OUT AND PICTURES OF NOTES ALL
THE FIRST RESPONDERS THERE, AND
THEY MADE THE CALL THAT THEY
BELIEVED THERE WAS NO MORE
SHOOTERS. ACTIVE SHOOTERS. ON
THAT CAMPUS. WHAT ELSE DID WE
LEARN? KEVIN DEVON AND KAREN
THAT HE HAD TWO HANDGUNS BOTH
PURCHASED LEGALLY NOT REGISTERED
, AND ALSO IN THAT WALLET WAS A
KIND OF A HIT LIST OF OTHER
LOCATIONS. A CHURCH, HIS FORMER
EMPLOYER, A MEIJER DISTRIBUTION
CENTER WAREHOUSE. UH FAST FOOD
PLACE IN A DISCOUNT STORE, WHERE
HE MAY HAVE BEEN SLIDING IN
THOSE PLACES ASKED TO LEAVE AND
THERE WAS ON HIS LIST. ALSO
SAYING THAT HE WAS GOING TO
SHOOT UP MSU ON THAT LIST BACK
TO YOU. HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO
FIND OUT WHAT THAT LIST THAT HE
HAD? WAS HE ACTUALLY LEAVING
CAMPUS TO CONTINUE ON WITH THOSE
OTHER POTENTIAL TARGETS? WE
ASKED THAT HOW HOW TERRIFYING,
BUT POLICE BELIEVE INVESTIGATORS
BELIEVE HE WAS WALKING RIGHT
BACK TO HIS FATHER’S, AND HE WAS
ALMOST THERE, SO HE WAS NOT
CONTINUING ON AT THAT POINT HAD
HE GOTTEN BACK IN THAT LITTLE
HOUSE OF THE DEAD. WOULD THEY
HAVE FOUND HIM? HOW? HOW LONG
WOULD IT TAKE TO TRACK HIM DOWN?
YOU KNOW THAT THEY AND WHAT DO
YOU CONTINUE? ON THE NEXT DAY?
THOSE ARE QUESTIONS WE’RE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO ASK, AND WE PUT
ALL THE ENTIRE ONE HOUR NEWS
CONFERENCE KAREN ON THE WEBSITE.
CLICK ON THE JOINT .COM IT’S
WORTH WATCHING. WE ASK THE
QUESTIONS AND INVESTIGATORS
ANSWER THEM AS BEST THEY COULD,
AT THIS POINT, HELPING US KIND
