“We are still receiving multiple calls of an active shooter on campus,” police said.
Authorities ordered students and staff to shelter in place after a report of shots fired around Berkey Hall on the school’s East Lansing campus.
In an alert sent shortly after 8:30 p.m., campus police reported a “shots fired incident occurring on or near the East Lansing campus.” The alert advised students and staff to “Secure-in-Place immediately” and to monitor alert.msu.edu for information.
MSU police said in a later tweet “There is another reported shooting at IM East. (a recreational facility). Police are responding. There are multiple reported injuries.” ing “as low cost to travelers as possible” says Watts, so every donation or sale is helpful.
The East Lansing High School auditorium, where a school board meeting was being held Monday night, was locked down and people were being prevented by police from leaving, the Lansing State Journal reported.
The East Lansing campus of Michigan State has about 50,000 students. The city is about 90 miles (145 kilometers) northwest of Detroit.
The point of these trips is to help students explore beyond Minnesota State and support communities.
Past ASB destinations include Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Winnipeg. Other trips were initially planned but were canceled due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
“Alternative Spring Break is a nationwide initiative to challenge students to take their spring breaks and make the world a better place,” said Watts.
Added Anderson, “I am always encouraged by the impact students make on the communities they visit and serve in and the impact that service and travel have on the students.”
Volunteer work has a way of changing people and the communities they built. Students that go on these alternative trips find themselves learning about people and themselves.
Anderson states, “I’ve known students who change their major due to Alternative Spring Break. I’m especially excited when students can combine their interest in travel and community engagement with their academic interests.”
