Police: Central Michigan University student shot parents to death in dorm
MOUNT PLEASANT (WJRT) (3/2/2018) Police believe a Central Michigan University student shot his parents to death Friday when they came to pick him up for spring break.
The shooting took place around 9:30 a.m. in Campbell Hall, which is part of the Towers residence halls on the west side of campus. Nobody else was injured besides the two people who died.
Authorities were looking for 19-year-old Eric Davis Jr. He was last seen running north from the scene.
He is a 19-year-old black male who is approximately 5-foot-10 and 135 pounds. He is wearing mustard yellow jeans and a blue hoodie. He may have taken off the blue hoodie.
He is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees the suspect, do not approach him and call 911 immediately.

They will be releasing his photo, soon.

(26,289 posts)The shooter had just been treated at a local hospital, and they are mentioning there may be some drug involvement.
Today is the last day of class before Spring Break. Now the kids are all sheltered in place for the duration.

(26,289 posts)His parents were there to pick him up for Spring Break, and he shoots them? He was taken to the hospital, last night, for some sort of drug problem. And now it appears he's been shedding clothes as he flees. If he is, as they suspect, in the wooded/swampy area, there's only so long in this weather that he can 'lay low' and hope to escape. Hypothermia might just figure into the the resolution.
That's more likely.

(26,289 posts)The shooter seems to have disappeared! I wonder if he had someone waiting with a car. There is a MASSIVE man hunt going on.

(26,289 posts)That, or he's hunkered down in the woods/swamp area. And if that's where he is, I'd expect that his fate might be hypothermia. It maybe broke 40, today, and it looks like he shed his hoodie to throw them off of the description.
