Oxford Township (USA) A 15-year-old student opened fire at his high school in Michigan, killing three students and injuring six others, including a teacher.
Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe said at a news conference Tuesday that he did not know what the attacker’s motive was for the attack at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, a community of about 22,000 people about 30 miles north of Detroit.
McCabe said officers responded to a flood of 911 calls about an active shooter at the school around 12:55 p.m. Officers arrested the suspect from the school and recovered a semi-automatic handgun and several clips.
“The deputy confronted him, he had weapons, he took him into custody,” McCabe said, adding that the suspect was not hurt when he was taken into custody and declined to say that he was How did you get a gun in school?
Officials did not immediately release the names of the suspects or victims.
Oxford Community School superintendent Tim Throne said he did not yet know the names of the victims or contact with their families.
“I am shocked. It is devastating,” the shaken superintendent told reporters.
The school was closed after the attack, with some children taking shelter in closed classrooms while authorities searched the premises. He was later taken to a nearby Meijer grocery store to be picked up by his parents.
McCabe said investigators would examine social media posts for any evidence of possible motive.
Robin Redding, the parent of a class 12 student, told The Associated Press that trouble was brewing at the school.
“He was not in school today. He just said that mother, I am not feeling well. None of the kids we go to school with today are going to school,” Mr Redding said.
