The mass shooting and manhunt on the Michigan State University campus Monday night were a "double trauma," Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin told CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday.
"And everyone felt the effects. Over 50,000 students are here, so it's a traumatic thing that's going take a while to get over," said the Democrat, who represents East Lansing, home of the MSU campus.
Many students spent the night holed up in their rooms following the traumatic incident, she said.
"Now, we're starting to see a few folks come out and want to be together. They're planning vigils, taking action, planning protests. They're starting to come out," Slotkin said.
The broader Michigan community, many with connections to MSU, have offered an outpouring of support, Slotkin said.
Many Michiganders believe a person can be a gun owner, an avid hunter, "grow up with weapons the way I did – and still believe in keeping kids safe in a place of sanctuary like a school."
Slotkin added: "People on the ground know you can believe in gun ownership and gun safety, they’re not mutually exclusive." https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/michigan-state-university-shooting-updates-2-14-23/index.html
