Hat-tip to local Fox 17 (westside of MI) with this approach to the MSU mass shooting/campus opening:
We are not approaching students on campus today. If you want to take the mic we’re at the rock. No questions. Just whatever you want to share. This shouldn’t deserve a gold star. It’s just the right thing to do.

Here to listen: FOX 17 lets Spartans share their stories
LANSING, Mich. — I'm a proud Spartan, like many others at FOX 17. I've taken classes at Berkey Hall, where two students were shot and killed only a week ago.
Berkey Hall is closed for the rest of semester, with classes there relocated.
When I returned to my alma mater on Monday, classes were the last thing on my mind. This was even more true for the students who returned to school, one week after the fatal shooting that claimed the lives of three MSU students and injured five others.
We chose not to ask questions on Monday. Instead, we waited by The Rock and propped a sign on a tripod. "This is hard," the sign read. "If you want to talk, we are here to listen."
After all, this is their story, and it should be told on their terms.
