Who were the three students killed in the MSU shooting on Monday, February 13th?

Michigan State University Department of Police and Public Safety identified the three victims:

Arielle Anderson, a junior from Grosse Pointe. Her family released a statement saying she was passionate about helping her friends and family and service to others. They said she dreamed of being a surgeon and was working toward completing her undergraduate studies early to make that happen.

The second victim, Brian Fraser, was a sophomore from Grosse Pointe and he was the president of MSU’s Phi Delta Theta chapter. The fraternity says Brian was a great friend to his brothers, the Greek community and everyone he met on campus.

And third was Alexandria Verner, a junior from Clawson exemplified kindness every day of her life and had a lasting impact on everyone in Clawson, according to her old superintendent.
