University police say three people were killed and five others injured after a suspect fired shots on campus.
MSU sent out alerts shortly after 8:30 p.m. urging people to "run, hide, fight."
"Run means evacuate away from danger if you can do so safely, Hide means to secure-in-place, and Fight means protect yourself if no other option."
In a press conference sometime after midnight, police say the suspect was located and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
