Two of the three students killed at Michigan State were from Grosse Pointe, one of the wealthiest areas in Michigan. Just by chance? Somehow I don't think so.
The shooter choose people at random. The shooter didn't interview anyone in advance.
PS - Yes, there's some pretty good money in Grosse Pointe, but there are also a lot of folks who are middle class.

I don't believe in coincidence. There are 50,000 students at Michigan State and he shoots two from Grosse Pointe.

I agree.
Lib division of the nation.
So maybe two friends from Grosse Pointe were hanging out together in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Maybe. Why not two friends from Flint?

Then I guess he would have targeted students from Flint in your scenario

Coincidence doesn't enter into the calculus.
This ass didn't even know the students he shot. He lived nearby, and went to at least two different buildings in his spree.
It's highly likely that two students from Grosse Pointe, Dearborn, Flint, Detroit, or Livonia would be chumming around with each other socially. It's the same for any university/college where students come from the same high schools, towns, etc.

He randomly targeted human beings, a race to which he didn't deserve to be a member of

Your live in Dallas, TX. Dallas is one of the most wealthy communities in the nation. And it is in Dallas,TX where everyone wears cowboy boots and stupid looking hats that are two sizes too big, and red bandanas around their necks. Texans all wear six-guns on their hips, don't they? And your avatar shows you looking normal? Somehow.....................
He was a Black guy, right and all the victims were White? What about that? No cries of racism about Black Identity Extremists?

Arielle Anderson, African American student was among the three killed. Seems random and as I have said in the past, “You can’t legislate against crazy.”

If we could legislate against crazy and armed. that would be an improvement

While this cretin wasn't necessarily bat-shit crazy, he was suffering likely from depression, according to his father, but wouldn't get any help.
But, to your point, yes, we can legislate against crazy, but any law(s) restricting the "rights" of "crazy" individuals would likely be struck down as unconstitutional in Liberal courts, with the ACLU leading the fight.
There aren't enough mental professionals to handle the numbers of mentally ill folks, and the medical community at large (read general practitioners/family doctors) just isn't schooled on treating those folks.
And to get a person who will harm him/herself or others, committed involuntarily, will require more courts and judges to handle the number of cases which arise daily. And it's likely his father didn't have the financial means to bankroll an attorney, one way or the other.
As to the murderer, he was originally charged with a felony, which upon conviction, would keep him from legally purchasing a firearm, was pled down to a misdemeanor, which doesn't go into the NCIC data base.
