MSU shooting suspect previously escaped felony firearm charge thanks to plea deal

MSU shooting suspect previously escaped felony firearm charge thanks to plea deal.
According to the Michigan Department of Corrections (DOC), McRae was arrested and charged with a felony in June 2019 for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

However, McRae later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for possessing a loaded firearm instead. He then served a year and a half on probation, and was discharged in May 2021.

During his probation, McRae never submitted a positive drug test nor were there any issues to note from him during that time, according to the Michigan DOC.
