Michigan State gunman felt 'slighted' before shooting on campus, police say

EAST LANSING, Mich. — A gunman suspected of fatally shooting three students at Michigan State University on Monday night and wounding five others had a note on him that included threats against multiple institutions and a claim that he had a team of 20 individuals who would help him carry out his plans, police said Thursday.

The handwritten note led police to believe Anthony McRae, 43, felt "slighted," though officials stressed they are far from defining a concrete motive that led to the mass shooting at Berkey Hall and the MSU Union.

MSU Deputy Police Chief Chris Rozman said police are still trying to determine McRae's connection to the university and the other locations listed in the note as well as what motivated the rampage.
