EAST LANSING, Mich. — Alexis Rhodes sat with her legs crossed Monday morning on a cement ledge outside the Michigan State University Union.
She faced the steps lined with bouquets, wreaths and candles. But she mostly gazed at her knees.
"I wanted to see him," she said, referring to her friend Brian Fraser, a 20-year-old sophomore who had been killed in a mass shooting there on Feb. 13. That evening, a gunman attacked students on campus, killing three, injuring five and causing thousands to take shelter for four terrifying hours.
