ORIGINAL STORY 4/24/21:
Central Michigan University quarterback John Keller is in serious condition after a shooting at an apartment complex early Saturday morning, according to a release sent to students from CMU President Bob Davies.
In the release, Davies also confirmed senior Tyler Bunting was shot in the same incident and is in stable condition.
According to the school's news source, Central Michigan Life, Mount Pleasant police were dispatched to Deerfield Village Apartments around 1 a.m. Saturday on reports of shots fired.
Investigation determined a fight broke out at a party, ending with shots being fired.
"At CMU, we believe respectful, civil discussion and debate are the appropriate solution for solving disagreements," Davies said. "Violence of any kind is contrary to our university’s core values and physical confrontations are never the answer. We are a community that lifts each other up, especially during challenging times, and we choose respect, compassion and inclusiveness over fear and hatred."
Students struggling with the incident are encouraged to contact the CMU Counseling Center by calling 989-774-3381 or emailing counsel@cmich.edu. Students also can contact the 24-hour Listening Ear crisis hotline at 989-772-2918. Both services are free and confidential.
Central Michigan Life says no suspect has been identified or arrested. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Isabella County Sheriff's Office or CMU Police Department.
