MSU shooter captured on man's security camera before confrontation with police

Well, we are all learning more tonight about the final moments of the gunman police. They caused all of this heartache. A Lansing man is sharing video that shows Anthony McCray walking down the street after the attack. It's about three miles from campus before he was confronted by police. 7 Action News reporter Alex Bozargin has the timeline and what stands out in the new video. Michigan State University police first tweeted out a photo of the suspect at 11.18 p.

m. on Monday night. DeMarco Taft caught him on his surveillance cameras just five minutes later. This is almost an hour walk from campus. This street right here take you to campus. So he basically after the last incident just walked straight up the street. DeMarco Taft lives in Lansing about three miles from Michigan State University.

He was home when police released this photo to the public, hoping to track down the man responsible for a mass shooting on campus. I'm pretty much in front of a surveillance screen at all times. I can see what's going on. At 11.23 p.m. Monday night Taft's camera shows a man strolling by wearing a jean jacket, black pants and red shoes.

Then once he actually crossed right in front and I seen him red shoes and got a close up, then I knew that was him. What were you thinking? I was thinking what caught was struck me is just how casual he was walking. Like he wasn't on the run. Like it was a great show of force over there, a manpower and a manhunt going on. But they were chasing somebody that wasn't even running. Police armed with long guns, FBI agents and sheriff deputies were combing campus for the sky, but he was here in Lansing. Taft says he wanted to confront the suspected shooter, but instead called police.

And then probably like it took him about not even 10 minutes to come from campus. Like I got footage of them streaming back past here. And I told him that he made the right here on Pennsylvania. 43 year old Anthony McCrae was confronted by police shortly after Taft's call. The gunman allegedly shot and killed himself after that confrontation. He was a Lansing resident, actually a resident of this ward here, of the first ward. And actually purchased the guns from the pawn shops here in the first ward.

Taft says he's grateful McCrae was stopped before he could hurt anyone else. And his heart breaks for parents now forced to bury their children. I definitely want to say to the families of the murdered, the injured and also the murderer that I know how I feel to lose a family member to a bullet. So you're not alone. In Lansing tonight, I'm Alex Bozargin for 7 Action News.
