Pontiac, Michigan – Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter, a Michigan State University alumnus, released the following statement about the tragic shooting at MSU:

"I am heartbroken and angry that the fear and tragedy of gun violence has struck my alma mater. Monday night, parents once again desperately tried to reach their kids, and comfort their families and each other. We grieve the loss of precious lives and pledge to support each other through the trauma. We thank brave first responders who ran into harm's way - including many from Oakland County who did the same in Oxford - and we are grateful for the healthcare workers who tended to the injured. And now it is far past time to summon the courage to address the scourge of violence that has shattered the peace of Oxford, our state, and my dear MSU. This madness at our schools – where kids go to learn and chart the course of their lives – has got to stop."
