“We have absolutely no idea what the motive was at this point,” MSU Police Interim Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said early Tuesday, adding that the gunman “had no affiliation to the university — he was not a student, faculty or staff, current or previous.”
Rozman went on to say, “I know everybody wants to know what the motive is. We don’t have an answer right now, that’s the honest truth.”
He provided little details on the gunman, but did confirm that the man was not a student or employee and had no affiliation with the university.
MSU Student Claims To Have Survived Both Monday’s Mass Shooting And 2012’s Sandy Hook Massacre
Following the recent senseless tragedy, a young woman who identified herself as J Matt on TikTok claims to have survived both the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut back in 2012 as well as Monday’s fatal shooting at MSU, according to Revolt.
“So the reason I’m making this video right now is because it is almost 1 a.m. and I am currently directly across the street from where the shootings at Michigan State occurred,” she began. After pausing to take a deep breath, she shared more of her story: “I am 21 years old and this is the second mass shooting that I have now lived through. Ten years and two months ago, I survived the Sandy Hook shooting, and when I was crouched in the corner, in school, in Newtown, Connecticut, on 12/14/12, I was hunched in the corner with my classmates for so long that I actually got a PTSD fracture in my L4 and L5. In my right lower back.”
Roomies, please keep Deelishis in your prayers as she navigates through this extremely difficult time.
