LANSING, Mich. (Feb. 14, 2023) — Senate Majority Floor Leader Sam Singh (D-East Lansing) issued the following statement on the mass shooting at Michigan State University last night and related resources support available for the community: 

“Last night’s tragic and senseless killings on MSU’s campus have shaken our community. I extend my gratitude to the first responders who worked tirelessly and swiftly to help secure buildings on campus and get students to safety. My heart breaks for the victims and their families. There will be additional updates on steps that will be taken to prevent these far too frequent tragedies from happening, but my focus today remains on assisting students, faculty, staff and community members to ensure they have the support they need to begin healing.  We will mourn. We will heal. We will act. 

“Below is a list of resources available to students, faculty and residents who may need mental health services, along with assistance for parents on how to talk to their children about what has happened, and numbers to call if you have information to provide on last night’s events.”
