Michigan State gunman had note indicating he ‘felt slighted,’ police say

New details have emerged about a shooting that left three students dead and five others injured at Michigan State University this week.

Police have not established a motive in Monday’s attack, but a note found on Anthony McRae, whom authorities identified as the gunman, contained claims that he led a group of killers, had threats against local businesses, a church and a New Jersey school district, and indicated that “he felt slighted in some way by people or businesses,” Christopher Rozman, deputy chief of the Michigan State University Department of Police and Public Safety, said during a news conference Thursday.

“I just want to assure everybody that that is the question on all of our minds, and we are working ... to try to determine that as best as possible,” Rozman said of a motive, adding that authorities also are examining whether the gunman had a history of mental health problems.
