MSU Gunman Got Charge Reduced to Misdemeanor on 2019 Gun Arrest

Although certain Internet sleuths had, by monitoring police scanners, discovered the identity of the gunman who killed three Michigan State University students and wounded five others before committing suicide, I hadn’t followed the story of Monday night’s shooting closely.
