LANSING, Mich. — The gunfire inside Marco Diaz-Munoz's Michigan State University classroom on Monday night felt like it lasted an eternity.
It didn't. The shots fired inside Berkey Hall took minutes, but only minutes were required to unleash life-changing horror on the assistant professor and roughly 40 students in his evening humanities class about Cuban cultural identity.
The classroom where Diaz-Munoz taught was ground zero for the mass shooting at Michigan State University on Monday, in which a 43-year-old gunman killed three students, wounded five others and caused a campus-wide lockdown for four terror-filled hours. Two of the students were killed in his classroom.
