9:56 p.m.
MSU police tweeted a description of the alleged shooter -- described as a \"short male with a mask, possibly Black\" -- and advised people to continue to shelter in place. \"We are still receiving multiple calls of an active shooter on campus,\" police said.
10:04 p.m.
MSU issued an alert that the situation remained active, and that a person was \"actively shooting\" at the East Lansing campus.
10:10 p.m.
MSU police updated that several campus buildings, including MSU Union and Berkey Hall, have been cleared and secured, and that the shooting victims are being transported to a local hospital.
11 p.m.
The suspect was captured on campus security cameras at approximately 11 p.m., police said.
11:18 p.m.
MSU police tweeted surveillance photos of the suspected shooter in a stairwell, describing him as a \"Black male, shorter in stature, red shoes, jean jacket, wearing a baseball cap that is navy with a lighter brim.\"
Shortly after releasing the photos, \"he was recognized by an alert citizen,\" Rozman said.
\"That was exactly what we were trying to achieve by releasing that picture, was to generate immediate tips for this person that was mobile that we had no idea where he was at that point,\" Rozman said.
11:35 p.m.
The suspect was located off campus at an undisclosed location in Lansing at approximately 11:35 p.m., Rozman said. As officers confronted him, he allegedly shot himself and died, police said.
Authorities later identified the suspect as 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae. He was not a student or member of the faculty or staff at the university \"at any point,\" according to Rozman, who said an alleged motive remains unknown.

12:28 a.m.
MSU issued an alert that the suspect had been located and that the shelter-in-place order had been lifted. \"There is no longer believed to be an imminent threat to campus,\" the alert stated.
MSU police also updated around that time that the suspect was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
