19-yrs-old gunman, shoots, kills 2 at Central Michigan University

The government of the United States of America must be dead worried over the spate of recent shootings in the country especially after another attack at the Central Michigan University (CMU) which witnessed the killing of two victims by a 19-year-old gunman.

According to police sources, the Friday morning shooting “started from a domestic situation” and the victims who were fatally shot in a residence hall are not students of the University.

The gunman has been identified by local police as James Eric,19, who is now on the run and said to be armed and dangerous.

The incident is coming about two weeks after a similar attack at a local high school in Florida when a 19-year-old student who was expelled from the institution opened fire killing no less than 17 people and injured 14 others.

According to reports, the suspect identified as Nikolas Cruz, a student of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in southeastern Florida started shooting outside the school using a semiautomatic AR-15 rifle before entering the premises where he continued his shooting spree.

The suspect was later overpowered by security operatives and was taken into custody shortly after the shooting incident regarded as one of the deadliest mass shootings in US modern history.
