At least three people were killed and five damaged after a gunman opened fire at Michigan State University on Monday night, as law execution swarmed the main campus in East Lansing searching for a lone suspect, police said.

Few official details about the gun violence were immediately available, but Chris Rozman, interim deputy chief of the university police, said shots were fired in two locations — at an academic building called Berkey Hall and the Michigan State University Union building.

Police replying to the shooting, which began shortly after 8pm Eastern time, found victims at both locations, Rozman told reporters at a televised late-night briefing about three hours later.

He confirmed that at least five victims were transported to the hospital, some of them with dangerous injuries, and MSU police issued an update by Twitter a short time later saying that at least three additional people had been killed.

Hours after the first gunfire erupted, several campus buildings had been cleared and secured by police as officers swept the campus in search of possible additional victims and a single suspect, MSU police said.

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has formed a larger bench to hear a plea seeking disqualification of former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for allegedly concealing information regarding his alleged daughter Tyrian Jade White in his nomination papers for the 2018 elections.

The three-judge bench, headed by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq and comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani and Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir, will take up the petition on Thursday (February 9).

In his petition, Mohammad Sajid — a citizen — said that Khan provided incorrect information while submitting his nomination papers for the general elections held in 2018.

The petitioner also said that even though the former prime minister has three children, he had mentioned only two in the papers and concealed the existence of his third child.

He also pleaded with the court to disqualify Khan under Article 62(i)(f) of the constitution.

It is pertinent to mention here that the IHC decided to shift the case to the larger bench after objections were upraised against the single-member bench.

On February 1, the PTI chairman filed a plea to dismiss the disqualification petition against him submitted in the IHC for “hiding” his alleged daughter in the nomination papers.

The response stated that the IHC’s four judges had previously excused themselves from hearing the matter.
