The scheduled men's basketball game between Central Michigan and Western Michigan on Friday night was postponed due to a shooting on the CMU campus. 

According to ESPN.com's Tom VanHaaren, Central Michigan University police said a suspect remains at large after fatally shooting two people in Campbell Hall on Friday morning.

Police named 19-year-old James Eric Davis, Jr. as the suspect and noted he was admitted to a hospital Thursday for what was believed to be a drug-related incident. He was released Friday morning not long before the shooting occurred.

With the Central Michigan campus still under lockdown, the game could not go on as originally scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.

The Chippewas are fifth in the MAC West with a 6-11 conference record and sit at 17-13 overall. Western Michigan is fourth in the MAC West at 9-8 with an overall record of 17-13.

The MAC tournament begins Monday, though it remains to be seen if the game between CMU and WMU will be played before then given the more significant concerns of the shooting's aftermath.
