Seven Suspects Identified in Assault on Michigan State University Students

The suspects, not affiliated with the university, allegedly targeted two students for their sexual orientation during LGBTQ Pride Month.

Michigan State University police have identified seven suspects in an assault on two students at the main library, labeling it a potential hate crime.
The incident, which involved racial and sexual orientation biases, occurred while the university celebrated LGBTQ Pride Month.
None of the suspects are students at Michigan State, and they are expected to face charges pending an ongoing investigation.
Michigan's current hate crime law does not cover sexual orientation or gender identity, a point highlighted by Attorney General Dana Nessel.
The university has emphasized its commitment to safety and respect for all individuals on campus, especially during significant events like Pride Month.
