Mt. Pleasant, MI – According to WXYZ-TV, two people have been shot and killed on the campus of Central Michigan University. The shooter is still at large.

Yesterday, at around 3 pm, the Mt. Pleasant Police Department tweeted: “

“We are requesting our Twitter followers and friends to be #Vigilant for any sort of #Suspicious activity, behavior or criminal activities! Please report this by calling 9*1*1 or use our Non-emergency number 262-886-2300. #HelpStopCrime”

The timing of the warning seems a bit odd, given that the Mt. Pleasant Police Department has only issued two other warnings on their Twitter account Since October 2016, and both warnings were reminders to residents about keeping their cars locked and removing valuables from your vehicle.

This morning at 10:28 am, Mt Pleasant Police confirmed that two people have been killed at CMU and that the 19-yr-old, armed, black, male suspect is still at large.
