ORIGINAL REPORT: 2 people fatally shot at Central Michigan University dorm in Mount Pleasant; suspect in custody
"You are charged with three counts, two counts of open murder and one count of felony firearm," Judge Paul Chamberlain said.
Police said Davis, 19, shot and killed his parents -- 48-year old James Davis Sr. and 48-year old Diva Davis -- inside his Campbell Hall dorm room just before 9 a.m. Friday.
Right after the shooting, Davis took off and police shut down the campus.
Davis was captured early Saturday after a 16-hour manhunt across Mount Pleasant. A train conductor called 911 when he spotted Davis Jr. in his underwear. Chris Bagwell, president of Great Lakes Central Railroad, says the crew wondered if he might try to jump on the train. He was found near railroad tracks just north of campus suffering from hypothermia.
