LANSING − Five students wounded during the mass shooting at Michigan State University on Monday remained in critical condition Wednesday.

The Michigan State University Police and Public Safety Department in a Wednesday Facebook post confirmed the conditions of the five students, which have not changed since the Monday evening incident that also killed three students.

Police said they would not be confirming the students' identities "at this time."

Police said Anthony McRae, 43, at about 8:18 p.m. on Monday, visited Berkey Hall near Grand River Avenue and killed two people. McRae then went to the student Union and killed another student. Police have not said how many students were wounded at each location. It's not clear where the students who were wounded encountered the gunman. He was found by police and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in North Lansing, about 5 miles from campus.

On Tuesday, police said MSU students Brian Fraser of Grosse Pointe, Alexandria Verner of Clawson and Arielle Anderson of Harper Woods were killed during the shooting.
