BUT WE DO HAVE THAT INTERACTIVE RADAR ON OUR 4WARN WEATHER APP SO YOU CAN ALWAYS DOWNLOAD THAT
IN THE APP STORE. KIM WE MOVE
NOW TO THE DEADLY CAMPUS
SHOOTINGS AT MICHIGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY, WHICH ENDED THE
LIVES, OF COURSE OF THREE
STUDENTS, BRIAN FRAZIER. ARIEL
ANDERSON AND ALEX FARNER
GOVERNOR SORRY SEVERAL NEW
DEVELOPMENTS TODAY. WE WANT TO
SHARE WITH YOU. ONE OF THE FIVE
HOSPITALIST STUDENTS AT SPARROW
HOSPITAL HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO
STABLE CONDITION. THE OTHER
FOUR, THOUGH OUR LAST CHECK
LISTED IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ON
THE INVESTIGATION SIDE, POLICE
TODAY, SAID THE SHOOTER ANTHONY
MCCRAY, SHOT AND KILLED HIMSELF
, INVESTIGATORS FOUND IN HIS
POSSESSION 29 MILLIMETER
HANDGUNS AND ADDITIONAL
AMMUNITION. HE ALSO HAD A NOTE
IN HIS WALLET, SAYING HE WOULD
SHOOT UP MSU THAT NOTE LISTED
OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE AREA,
INCLUDING A CHURCH AND A MEIJER
WAREHOUSE WHERE MCCRAY HAD
PREVIOUSLY WORKED. BERKEY HALL,
THE FIRST BUILDING THE SHOOTER
TARGETED IS CLOSED FOR THE REST
OF THE SEMESTER. TONIGHT. WE’RE
HEARING FROM THE ASSISTANT
PROFESSOR WHO WAS TEACHING
INSIDE ROOM 1 14 OF BERKEY HALL
WHEN THE GUNMAN CAME IN AND
STARTED SHOOTING. EVEN WHILE
YOU’RE HEARING THE SHOTS, YOU
THINK THIS IS NOT? THIS IS NOT
REAL. I’M HAUNTED BECAUSE I
DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I DIDN’T
KNOW WHETHER TO LIFT THEIR
BODIES. UH THERE WAS SO MUCH
BLOOD. WHY ARE YOU WILLING TO BE
RELIVING THIS RIGHT NOW? BECAUSE
I THINK THE PUBLIC NEXT NEEDS TO
KNOW. THE HORROR I SAW. WELL WE
HAVE LEARNED. ONE STUDENT
BARRICADED IN HIS ROOM AT MSU
SPENT THE NIGHT TEXTING WITH HIS
BROTHER, WHO HAD SURVIVED BEING
SHOT AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL,
TALKED WITH HIS FAMILY BEFORE
OUR MARA MACDONALD IS LIVE IN
OXFORD TONIGHT, MARA, IT IS SO
HARD TO FATHOM BROTHERS ACTUALLY
HAVING TO DEAL WITH TWO SEPARATE
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. AND KAREN. YET
HERE WE ARE. CALEB WATSON LOVES
MSU. HE LOVES BEING A POLICY
MAJOR THERE, AND IT JUST IS SO
HARD FOR HIM TO FATHOM WHAT HAS
HAPPENED SIMPLY BECAUSE THE
WATSON FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH
SO MUCH. HIS BROTHER AIDAN WAS
SHOT DURING THAT HIGH SCHOOL
SHOOTING AT OXFORD HIGH AND THE
ONE PLACE THAT HE REALLY VIEWED
AS HIS REFUGE. NOW EVEN THAT IS
TAINTED. CALEB WAS SO ABSORBED
IN A RESEARCH PAPER THAT WAS
DUE, HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS
TRANSPIRING OUTSIDE OF BURKI AND
THE MSU STUDENT UNION UNTIL HIS
MOTHER CALLED, SHE JUST SAID ARE
YOU OKAY? I’M LIKE, YEAH. WHY
WOULDN’T I BE? AND SHE’S LIKE,
OKAY. DID YOU GET A TAX? DID YOU
GET AN EMAIL? I’M LIKE ABOUT
WHAT? AND SHE’S LIKE CALEB,
THERE’S AN ACTIVE SHOOTER ON
CAMPUS RIGHT NOW THAT BEGAN A
FOUR HOUR ORDEAL WITH CALEB
BARRICADED, LIKE SO MANY OTHERS
IN HIS DORM ROOM WITH HIS
BROTHER, AIDAN, TEXTING HIM NOT
CALLING. WHY. SO IF THE SHOOTER
WAS IN THE BUILDING, HE COULDN’T
HEAR HIM. AIDAN HAD TEXTED ME
FIRST, ASKING IF I WAS OKAY. AND
I SAID YES, I’M JUST STAYING IN
MY ROOM. AND THEN, UM, AFTER
THAT, HE STARTED TO TEXT ME
ADVICE ON HOW TO SURVIVE. AND
WHEN MY BROTHER SENT A TEXT
SAYING, MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE’S
OFF SO THEY CAN’T HEAR YOU. I
JUST STARTED CRYING WAS SHOT IN
THE LEG DURING THE MASS SHOOTING
AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL. HIS
RECOVERY HAS BEEN LONG AND HARD
FOR THE ENTIRE WATSON FAMILY,
WHICH NOW HAS THE DISTINCTION OF
SAYING BOTH THEIR BOYS SURVIVED
. TWO SEPARATE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS
GOING TO MSU WAS JUST I DIDN’T
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. I DIDN’T
HAVE TO SEE IT. I COULD JUST
ENJOY BEING A NORMAL COLLEGE
STUDENT. BUT NOW EVEN THAT’S
BEEN RIPPED AWAY FROM ME. BACK
HERE LIVE. CALEB WENT BACK TO
CAMPUS YESTERDAY TO PICK UP SOME
STUFF. I ASKED HIM IF HE’S READY
TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, AND THE
ANSWER WAS SORT OF. MAYBE HE
SAID HE THINKS HE’D FEEL A WHOLE
LOT BETTER IF THE UNIVERSITY
WOULD INSTITUTE SOME SAFETY
MEASURES LIKE MAKING SURE ALL
THOSE HALLS AND DORMS WERE
STUDENTS AND FACULTY ACCESS
ONLY, BUT HE REALIZES THAT KIND
OF A CHANGE. COULDN’T POSSIBLY
HAPPEN. AND JUST A COUPLE OF
DAYS WE’RE LIVE IN OXFORD
TONIGHT. I’M MARA MACDONALD
