At least three people were killed and five injured after a gunman opened fire at Michigan State University on Monday night before apparently shooting himself, US police have said.

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 responding to the shooting, which began shortly after 8pm local time (1am GMT), found victims at both locations, Mr Rozman told reporters at a late-night briefing.

Officers said the man appeared to have fled the campus before killing himself. He was described as a short man with a jean jacket and baseball cap and had been last seen fleeing the MSU Union building on foot.

Police said they are working to confirm the identity of the gunman and said they could not yet determine a motive for the shooting spree.

Mr Rozman confirmed that at least five victims were transported to hospital, some of them with life-threatening injuries, and MSU police issued an update by Twitter a short time later saying that at least three people had died.
