Authorities said they have 'no idea why' a 43-year-old gunman killed three Michigan State University students and wounded five in the latest U.S. mass shooting, but said he had a history of mental health problems
It remained unclear whether the gunman was found dead after he was confronted by police, or whether he may have taken his own life during such a encounter.
Students, faculty and residents in surrounding off-campus neighborhoods of East Lansing had been told by authorities to "shelter in place" during the manhunt. That advisory was lifted once the suspect's death was confirmed.
"We will take two days ... to give ourselves time to think and to grieve and to be together," MSU president Teresa Woodruff said early Tuesday. Four classmates were killed and six students and a teacher were wounded in that attack, the deadliest U.S. school shooting that year.
