Lest We Forget

Family and friends mourned the deaths of three Michigan State University students killed in a Monday night shooting that critically wounded five others. Anthony Dwayne McRae, 43, the gunman with a previous gun violation, fatally shot himself hours later.

Arielle Anderson, 19 a sophomore at Michigan State University, was a bright, inspiring, and a humble young lady, April Davis, her maternal grandmother, said from her home where a small portion of Anderson’s large family gathered. She aspired to become a pediatric doctor.

“She’s kind, loving, caring, compassionate, driven,” and "very family oriented,” Davis said.

Alexandria Verner was a junior who graduated from Clawson High School in 2020, the district said in a statement. She was studying forensics at Michigan State University.

"She was certainly a phenomenal daughter, sister, friend, student, leader, student-athlete who truly walked the walk every day and modeled what high character and integrity and kindness was all about in a world where we're void of that, obviously, right now."

Verner’s Twitter bio says, “Can’t stop dreaming,”


Brian Fraser was a sophomore at Michigan State University and graduated from Grosse Pointe South High,
Fraser was also the president of Michigan State's chapter of Phi Delta Theta fraternity

His family was still processing the sudden loss.

Micaela Fraser, Brian Fraser’s sister, told the Detroit Free Press Tuesday that their family isn’t ready to speak, but she doesn’t want her brother’s name forgotten. He was a light in their lives, she said.

You're going to be a busy man if you're going to post all the gun deaths...

I know a guy who shot himself in the hand at a gun range...didn't make the news though.

MSU shooter Anthony McRae pleaded guilty to gun charge in 2019

Lansing — State officials Tuesday identified 43-year-old Anthony McRae, who was charged with multiple gun-related crimes in 2019, as the attacker who shot and killed three people and wounded five others at Michigan State University.

McRae, who was found off-campus after dying of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, was identified less than nine hours after police lifted a campus-wide shelter-in-place order following the mass shooting.

McRae has a recent history with firearms.

He was arrested in Lansing and charged in June 2019 with carrying a concealed pistol without a concealed carry permit, according to Ingham County court records obtained Tuesday by The Detroit News. The initial charge was a felony that carried a potential penalty of five years in prison, according to the records.

At about 3 a.m. June 7, 2019, an officer encountered McRae in Lansing where the officer asked him if he had any weapons on him. McRae acknowledged he had a gun but he didn’t have a concealed weapons permit, according to court records. McRae also had a magazine in his right breast pocket, according to the court records.

“He advised the handgun was registered to him,” a court document about the incident said. “He bought it late March at Capital Discount. He was currently trying to obtain a concealed weapons permit."

In October 2019, Ingham County prosecutors added a second charge against McRae: possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle, a misdemeanor.

That same month, October 2019, McRae agreed to plead guilty to the lesser misdemeanor charge, and prosecutors dismissed the felony charge.

The Ingham County Prosecutor's Office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

McRae was sentenced in November 2019 to 12 months probation. In October 2020, six additional months were added to his probation, according to court records. The addition was meant to allow him to complete the terms of the probation order, the records said.

His probation period concluded in May 2021.

The only acceptable number for me would be zero (0).
