The killer never paid the price for a gun crime
The mass shooter who killed three students and left five others in critical condition at Michigan State University was identified Tuesday as a 43-year-old local man, Anthony Dwayne McRae. He was arrested once on firearm charges. His felony gun charge was knocked down to a misdemeanor. He used a handgun, not a long gun as reported.
He appears to have killed himself at 11:35 pm.
“We have absolutely no idea what the motive was at this point,” MSU Police Interim Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said early Tuesday.
McRae had no connection whatsoever to the university or students.
FYI 🚨: The MSU shooter was a convicted felon named Anthony McRae so it was illegal for him to have a gun at all. He did this with a handgun, not an AR-15. He was previously convicted for breaking a gun law. Criminals don’t follow gun laws. pic.twitter.com/m6fLzGTMuQ
