EAST LANSING, Mich. – One student who was critically injured in the Michigan State University mass shooting has been upgraded to stable condition as of Thursday, officials report.
Three students were killed and five students were injured when a gunman opened fire at two buildings on the East Lansing campus on Monday, Feb. 13. All five injured students were hospitalized in Lansing and had been in critical condition since. Four of them required surgical intervention upon their arrival at the hospital.
A Sparrow Hospital spokesman said earlier this week that there was not an injury pattern among the five hospitalized students, but that they were facing life-threatening injuries.
Officials announced Thursday that one of the five injured students has shown improvement, and was moved from critical to stable condition. The identity of that student was not released.
Police said they will not be confirming the identities of any of the five injured students, out of respect for the families. Some identities have still been made public by family or friends, however.
The other four injured students are still in critical condition as of Thursday.

A motive for the shooting has not yet been confirmed. The investigation continues and is being led by Michigan State University police as well as Michigan State Police, in addition to partnering agencies such as the FBI and the Lansing Police Department.
