Reeling from a frenzied night spent in fear, and a grim Valentine’s Day spent in shock, hundreds of Michiganders gathered at prayer services and vigils held across the state Tuesday night, revealing the magnitude of the heartbreak felt over the three students killed in a shooting rampage at Michigan State University. And as their grief swelled, they questioned the senselessness of it all: Why Brian? Why Alexandria? Why Arielle? At the vigils, they came to grieve wearing Spartan green and white ― from Grosse Pointe, where Brian Fraser, 20, played lacrosse, to Clawson, where Alexandria Verner, 20, donned No. 24 on the basketball court, to East Lansing, where Arielle Anderson, 19, was working toward a career in medicine. Mourners converged solemnly across the state, and they plan to mourn through the week to honor the Spartans who were lost, injured and traumatized as shots rang out on campus, with vigils planned Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and beyond.
