This note claimed that MSU had rejected him at one time for a job opportunity, but this has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Rene Gonzalez, Michigan State Police Lt. Rene Gonzalez stated that there is a rejection angle to the job. \u201cbeing investigated,\u201d Other possible motives may have been offered by the shooter. The shooter could also have suffered from mental illness.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect\u2019s note also mentioned a former job and suggested he was angry with previous employers and employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt appears that he had some issues with the employees there where he was asked to leave,\u201d Gonzalez said in reference to the suspect\u2019s former job that was mentioned in the note. \u201cSo it looks like possibly a motive for that was he felt slighted, and that\u2019s kind of what the note indicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The note went into provably false territory as the suspect claimed that he was among 20 people who were ready to commit an attack. The suspect\u2019s father reportedly told detectives that his son had no friends and stayed in his room all day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe ate, went to the bathroom in there,\u201d Gonzalez stated, according to the Beast. \u201cHis father didn\u2019t believe he had any friends let alone 20 of them that would help him \u2026 so we kind of determined that he was the lone shooter in this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe there were no other suspects involved and [the suspect] was the lone shooter,\u201d Gonzalez added, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2023\/02\/16\/michigan-state-gunman-note\/\">according The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet also reported that MSU\u2019s interim president, Teresa Woodruff, announced that classes were canceled through Sunday, and that Berkey Hall, where two of the students were killed, would be closed for the rest of the semester. The Post reported that school officials are still considering whether to reopen student union, which was where the third student was murdered.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect shooter had been convicted of possessing an unloaded firearm in a motor vehicle in 2019. He was sentenced in 2019, and spent 18 months in prison.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/news\/local\/michigan\/2023\/02\/14\/three-killed-five-wounded-in-michigan-state-shooting-were-all-students\/69901429007\/\">reported<\/a>.
