Updated: Monday, 9:30 p.m. -- The Lansing State Journal and Gannett Michigan reported that a gunman suspected in two fatal shootings near the Michigan State University campus Monday was apprehended around 3:15 p.m. in East Lansing.
Earlier reports by the State Journal that two MSU residence halls were on lockdown proved not to be the case. The State News, the college, paper reported that the campus police sent out an alert about the shootings, but "the university was not sent into lockdown." An advisory was lifted about 1:15 p.m.
The first shooting occured around 11 a.m. The suspect walked into a Rite Aid drug store on Saginaw and shot a 35-year-old male employee.
Police said the next shooting happened about 6 minutes later. A man was found shot in a duplex on Coolidge Road.
The suspect barricaded himself inside the duplex. After surrounding the duplex, police escorted the suspect out of the duplex around 3:15 p.m., Gannett Michigan reported.
The media reported that the motive in the shootings was unclear.
Gannett Michigan reported about the location of the second shooting on Coolidge Road:
.A resident of the building’s other unit said the man who lives downstairs had been involved in a shouting match with a neighbor Sunday night.
It lasted about two hours. At one point during the argument, the neighbor was heard screaming: “Come over here and shoot me,” said Adam Brown, who lives in the upstairs portion of the duplex.
