The latest incident in the series of shooting sprees in the US happened on Monday at Michigan State University, on the eve of the five-year anniversary of the Parkland High School shooting, which killed 17 people, mostly students.

An unidentified gunman killed at least three people on the Michigan State University campus, according to university police.

Interim Deputy Chief Chris Rozman previously confirmed that five people were injured in two shootings carried out by the attacker, adding that "some" of the gunshot victims suffered life-threatening injuries.

The gunman presently remains at large and has been described by police as a "short male with a mask" who evaded police on foot. Officials indicated it "appears there is only one suspect at this time."

The interim deputy chief has stated that the gunman's surveillance footage will be made public.

Officials had previously stated that first responders had transported the injured to the nearby Sparrow Hospital and that seven common areas across campus had been secured.

Local media reported that Michigan State Police troopers were seen on campus with rifles, instructing students to stay indoors and away from windows. The campus, at 5,200 acres, is one of the largest in the United States.

East Lansing has also issued a shelter-in-place order to the rest of the community. Agents from the FBI's Detroit field office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives are on the scene.

On another note, the latest shooting happened last month on January 31, ten people were injured, including two in critical condition, in a drive-by shooting in Lakeland, Florida, police confirmed.

Police chief Sam Taylor said the shooting happened around 3:43 pm when people opened fire from both sides of a dark blue Nissan sedan.

A few days before, US police reported that at least one person was murdered and three others were injured, including a 2-year-old toddler in a shooting in Baltimore on January 29. 

Police suspect that a gunman or gunmen opened fire, but they are unsure whether the intended targets were persons in vehicles or civilians on the sidewalk.
