At least three people have been killed after a shooting at a US university – with the gunman apparently dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.<\/p>\n

A manhunt was launched for the attacker who was described as a short black male in a cap, red shoes and a jean jacket.<\/p>\n

Police said five people were also taken to hospital, some in a life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n

The incident began at around 8.18pm local time when shots were fired at Berkey Hall on the East Lansing campus .<\/p>\n

Students and staff were told in a police tweet to “secure-in-place immediately” as officers responded to multiple 911 calls.<\/p>\n

Police said in a news conference that the gunman then opened fire at the nearby university union and was last seen leaving the building on foot.<\/p>\n

Large numbers are likely to be locked down as about 50,000 people attend the East Lansing campus – which also hosts evening classes.<\/p>\n

A number of buildings have already been secured as police systematically search for the gunman.<\/p>\n

The victims have been taken to Sparrow Hospital.<\/p>\n

Chris Rozman, from Michigan State University Police, said “numerous” officers responded within minutes and gave first aid at both shooting locations.<\/p>\n

He told reporters that “hundreds” of police and law enforcement personnel were hunting the gunman.<\/p>\n

The campus is about 90 miles (145km) northwest of Detroit.<\/p>\n

Lisa McClain, US representative for Michigan, tweeted earlier: “There are reports of an active shooting on campus at Michigan State University.<\/p>\n

“If you are there, police instructions are to Run, Hide, Fight. I am praying for all Spartans right now.”<\/p>\n
