Michigan State University (MSU) police have confirmed that the gunman responsible for the shooting that left three students dead and five others critically injured on Monday had a list of other targets and two handguns when he was found by police.

At a news conference on Thursday morning, MSU police revealed that 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae had two pages of notes in his wallet that could provide insight into why he committed the massacre. The notes threatened several institutions, including a church, a New Jersey school district and various businesses to which McRae had personal ties.

McRae was found by police on foot about 4 miles northwest of campus after an alert citizen saw news coverage of the shooting and reported it to the police. When police closed in on him, McRae said nothing before shooting and killing himself.

MSU Interim Deputy Police Chief Chris Rozman said it appeared that McRae was “just walking home.” Police believe McRae acted alone and is the only suspect in the shooting.

The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. MSU police are urging the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.
