Sadly, Monday he killed three and injured 5 more before killing himself. (These assholes always get it backwards &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if they killed themselves FIRST?)\u00a0 Just because I don&#8217;t believe in providing internet hits\/fame to jerks like this, I will describe him as a 43-year old black male with no ties to the university. Notably:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The suspected perpetrator of the Monday mass shooting at Michigan State University had a 2019 felony weapons charge against him dismissed under a former county prosecutor decried for her lenient prosecution approach, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p>XXXXXX XXXXX (deleted &#8211; Ed.), 43, allegedly shot and killed three Michigan State University students, injuring five others before ultimately killing himself, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/msupolice\/status\/1625486104659894273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1625491358525046791%7Ctwgr%5Eb6144f7333273a3942aba3456e2837e3b43511b3%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2023%2F02%2F13%2Fshooting-confirmed-at-michigan-state-university%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">police<\/a>.
