Candlelight vigil to be held at MSU following Monday's shooting
(CBS DETROIT) - A candlelight vigil will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at the Rock, following Monday's shooting in which three students were fatally shot, and five others were critically injured.
Lyman Briggs College Dean Kendra Spence Cheruvelil sent out a statement about the vigil, which will be held at 6 p.m. tomorrow, and also included resources available to the community.
"Our hearts are breaking today," said Cheruvelil. "In the face of so much that we still don't know, we must rely on one another and our communities for support. We want to ensure that you know that campus is now safe."
Here are mental health resources available to the community:
- Crisis counseling at Hannah Community Center (819 Abbot Rd., East Lansing)
- CAPS will provide virtual appointments for those with pre-scheduled appointments
- 24/7 virtual crisis counseling is available at (517) 355-8270 and press "1" at the prompt to speak with a crisis counselor
- Student health services appointments at Olin Health Center are canceled for Feb. 14 and Feb. 15.
"I have few words to share, but I am confident that love and caring for each other is our path forward," said Cheruvelil. "Lean on each other and be there for each other."
