ANN ARBOR – The University of Michigan will hold a vigil on the Diag at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evening in support of the Michigan State University community impacted by a deadly school shooting on Monday night.
Three students were killed and five were transported to hospital in critical condition when a gunman entered two campus buildings and opened fire.
“I know many in our community are reeling from this event as you have friends or family who belong to the MSU community,” University of Michigan President Santa J. Ono wrote to the U-M community on Tuesday. “I encourage us all to take a moment to show our appreciation and support for one another.
“Let us do all we can to support one another, and our MSU family, in this hour of tragedy and need,” wrote Ono.
The Diag is located at 913 S. University Ave.
