The three students killed in Monday night's shooting at Michigan State University have been identified, authorities say.
Video shows tense moment as Michigan State students barricade themselves inside classroomTense, scary and chaotic was how Michigan State University student Joshua Thomas described his experience hunkering down in a classroom with dozens of students as a gunman went on a deadly shooting spree Monday night.
"Right after we got in, they barricaded the room with the tables," he said. Thomas said there were around 75 students in the room. After about four hours, the students heard a knock on the door and saw someone waving a flashlight. Students believed it could've been a police officer, but they were not sure, so one student called 911. On the phone, the dispatcher told them that officers were not on the third floor yet, so they kept the door shut.
"Sit down, I'm talking to the cops right now," a student can be heard saying in the video."They said don't open the door," another student yells.
