US EditionMichigan State Paying Almost $30M to Campus Shooting Survivors
- On February 13, 2023, gunman Anthony McRae opened fire inside Michigan State University's Berkey Hall and Union in East Lansing, killing three students and wounding five others before killing himself off-campus.
- Authorities determined that McRae had no ties to MSU, and although a note found on him suggested he felt wronged, the exact reason behind the shooting was never identified.
- Following the incident, three surviving students—Nathan Statly, Troy Forbush, and Yukai 'John' Hao—filed lawsuits claiming the university failed to protect them and later reached settlements totaling nearly $30 million.
- Statly received $14.25 million after suffering brain injury and paralysis, Forbush $2.5 million for chest wounds, and Hao $13 million for paralysis caused by a back injury; the university will support Hao's continued education and health insurance.
- Michigan State University acknowledged the settlements and expressed condolences, while ongoing talks continue with other survivors and possible further legal actions remain pending.
