One person was killed and others were injured after a gunman opened fire at the Michigan State University on Monday night, officials and a report said.
University police believe a lone suspect, who was still at large, carried out at least two shootings on campus.
The Detroit News reported at least one fatality.
Following the first report of shots fired, students and staff at the school were ordered to “secure-in-place,” authorities said.
“There have been shots fired near Berkey Hall on the East Lansing campus,” MSU police wrote on Twitter.
“Please secure-in-place immediately. Police are active on scene,” the post continued.
It wasn’t immediately clear if anybody was injured in the first shooting.
But university police said several people were wounded in another shooting at IM East that was believed to have been carried out by one suspect.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m. local time, campus authorities said IM east had been secured.

University police on Monday night sent out an alert warning the campus community to “Run, Hide, Fight,” according to Freep.com.
“Run means evacuate away from danger if you can do so safely, Hide means to secure-in-place, and Fight means protect yourself if no other option,” the message said.
