Central Michigan University Shooting - Two Fatalities
The sprawling Central Michigan University campus was on lockdown Friday after two people were killed and police were hunting for an "armed and dangerous" gunman, university police confirmed.
Neither of the victims found dead at Campbell Hall were students and police identified the "person of interest" as 19-year-old James Eric Davis (pictured above), who appears to be enrolled at the school.
"We believe this situation was a domestic type incident," said Lt. Larry Klaus of the CMU campus police. "He was last seen running in a northbound direction."
"We believe the subject is in the city limits now," added Officer Jeff Brown of the Mount Pleasant police department.
Klaus did not say what sparked the shooting, but said police had contact with Davis overnight for a drug-related incident of some kind..
At around 8:30 am CT today gunfire erupted on the fourth floor of the dorm, police said.
The CMU student government sent a tweet urging students to "stay inside and lock your doors." Parents were urged to stay away from the campus and not try to pick up their children.
