Michigan State suspends men’s basketball game scheduled for Wednesday
Michigan State will be canceling all classes, athletics, and all campus-related activities for the next 48 hours. The ban on all MSU-related activities will see the Spartans’ game against Minnesota set for Wednesday either canceled or postponed.
The announcement comes after an active shooter situation on campus that has reportedly left multiple people injured. The university told its students and staff to not come to campus on Tuesday.
Students were alerted about the shooting via a message from the school around 8:30 p.m. ET urging them to stay in place and to run, hide and fight. Shots were reported by MSU police near Berkey Hall and believe that the shooter is on foot.
Police are continuing to respond to the matter. Any updates will be posted to social media.
