Three people have been killed as five others remain in a critical condition

The three people killed in a shooting at Michigan State University have been identified by police.

The chapter president of his fraternity, a “quiet leader” who embodied poise and humility, and a 19-year-old who planned to become the first doctor in her family.

Brian Fraser, Alex Warner and Arielle Diamond Anderson are the victims of a senseless act of violence which marks the 68th mass shooting in the United states this year alone.

Five others who were injured remain in a critical condition.

Police say the man suspected of carrying out the attack died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Shots were fired in two buildings at the campus shortly after 8PM local time.

The 43-year-old had no known affiliation to the university, and his motive remains a mystery.

A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University and released this video calling for gun reform.

This chief medical officer of a hospital treating Michigan State University shooting victims became emotional when speaking on the staff’s response.

Students who were on campus during the attack described a sense of panic as they jumped out of windows, hid in corners and sprinted out of buildings to avoid the gunman.

Michigan Democrats are considering speeding up the passage of new gun legislation following the shooting at Michigan State University on Monday evening.

Governor Gretchin Whitmer says residents “cannot keep living like this”.

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.

The official said the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”, which happened on the way back from a visit to the border with Azerbaijan in Iran’s northwest.

“We are still hopeful but information coming from the crash site is very concerning,” the official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
