Beaumont Tower at Michigan State University glows green during a carillon tribute to the victims of the February 13 mass shooting on campus.

It’s been more than two weeks since the shooting at Michigan State University that claimed the lives of Arielle Anderson, Brian Fraser and Alexandria Verner.

Five other students were injured.

On Monday, a few dozen people gathered on campus to remember all the victims of the tragedy with a reflective moment of music at Beaumont Tower.

WKAR’s Kevin Lavery was there, and brings us this audio postcard.
