February 14, 2023

TRENTON, NJ (MERCER)–Michigan State University Police Department reported that an active shooter that killed three people and left five in critical condition, 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to an obituary of Linda Gail McRae formerly of Trenton, NJ who passed on September 13, 2020, lists Anthony D. McRae of Michigan as her son. The obituary states “Before relocating from Trenton, Linda formed a union with Michael A. McRae in 1976. In 2003, she then moved to Lansing to begin her journey in the life that God had prepared for her. Linda was employed by two General Motors plants; one in Trenton and the other in Wilmington, Delaware.” (Note: The General Motors Plant was in Ewing Township, NJ close to Trenton, NJ)

The NY Post was one of the first to report about the ties to Trenton in this article: Michigan State University shooter ID’d as Anthony Dwayne McRae

This is still a developing story and when more information becomes available the story will be updated.
