Two people killed at Central Michigan University

There was another shooting in the US and this time at the Central Michigan University. Supposedly two people died.

Two people have been killed at a Central Michigan University's residence hall in Mt. Pleasant. Police say the gunman remains at large.

There were no other injuries, the university says.

Police have advised staff and students "to take shelter," according to the university’s Twitter.

Gun shots have been fired at Campbell Hall dormitory in Central Michigan University, according to media reports.

The incident comes two weeks after the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida in which 17 people were killed.

Central Michigan University is located in Mount Pleasant, Michigan and has more than 20,000 students on its Mount Pleasant campus.

This is the university my youngest son graduated from! Further updates have said the 19 y/o black student was taken to the hospital Thursday night and later released (possible drug overdose was what the press speculated). The two people killed are reported to be the shooters parents. There was a domestic dispute prior to the shooting.

The kid took off running and has yet to be apprehended. Today was suppose to be the last school day before Spring Break. Many students had already left campus, others planning to leave today.

The 19 yo has still not been apprehended. His father was a part time police officer and Iraqi war veteran, his mom a realtor. They were from a suburb outside Chicago. His parents were there to pick him up for spring break. It seems drugs were involved in his hospital visit but no word on what kind of drugs or on the dispute that led to the murders or if the gun was his father's. Very tragic. I doubt the 19 yo will be found/or taken alive.

I was surprised they arrested him without incident. By all accounts I've read, the boy was having some sort of psychotic episode due to a drug. When police found him, he was suffering from hypothermia and disoriented. He was taken back to the hospital.
