Michigan State's Response to Mass Shooting Deemed Appropriate and Timely

An external investigation has determined that Michigan State University's response to a mass shooting on campus in February was appropriate, timely, and correct. The report praised the initial response by MSU police officers and found that it did not contribute to the prolongation of the incident or additional loss of life. The investigation made recommendations to strengthen campus safety and security, including upgrading classroom locks, implementing a campus emergency lockdown feature, and improving coordination with self-deployed individuals during crises. MSU has already taken steps to enhance campus safety, such as extending building access hours and adding locks to academic classroom doors.
