I grew up in Michigan and have always been a MSU fan. I lived a few minutes from campus and know probably hundreds of people who went there. It’s so surreal to see this happen so close to home, and then to also have this connection back to NJ where I live now (although not in the same area as the threats).

Well of course, if you lived in Ewing you'd tell everyone you lived in Princeton.

He used to live in the area, according to the Yahoo article I read. Maybe he attended the school?

This was from Ewing school district.
"On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, at approximately 0600 hours, The Ewing Police Department was notified by the New Jersey State Police about a mass shooting incident that occurred at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, which had a possible connection to Ewing, New Jersey. Information received during the investigation indicated that the shooter (Anthony McRae, age 43) had local ties to Ewing Township. When McRae was found by police in Michigan, he had a note in his pocket that indicated a threat to two Ewing Public Schools. Investigation revealed that McRae had a history of mental health issues. As the investigation continued, and out of an abundance of caution, the Ewing Public Schools were closed for the day. Officers from Ewing and surrounding agencies were stationed at each closed public school as well as the other schools in the Township. After further investigation, it has been determined that the incident is isolated to Michigan, and there is no threat to Ewing Schools. Information received during our investigation indicated that McRae has not resided in the Ewing area in several years. The Ewing Police Department would like to thank our Mercer County law enforcement partners for their quick response and assistance while the investigation was in the initial stages. Officers will remain at all schools for the day, and it is anticipated that the normal school schedule will resume tomorrow, February 15.”

I'm sure you've heard this somewhat famous quote before: the eyes are the window to the soul.

Having gone through the Ewing school system, it's incredibly odd and eerie to hear that both of those schools were named directly.
I hate to think what would've happened if he had gotten away from the scene in Michigan
