Three people were killed and six others were injured in a shooting Tuesday at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit, authorities said.

The suspect, a 15-year-old sophomore, is in custody, Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said at a press conference. A handgun was also located, he said.

The three people killed are all believed to be students, he said. Their identities have not been released.

Authorities received a 911 call about an active shooter at the school just before 1 p.m., McCabe said. More than a hundred 911 calls came in to dispatch, he told reporters. The suspect was taken into custody at the school within five minutes of the first call.

"The suspect fired multiple shots, there are multiple victims," he said. "He did not give us any resistance when he was taken into custody."

Among the six who were wounded is a teacher. They have all been taken to hospitals for various injuries, according to officials.

Video shows students escape their classroom as the potential shooter tries enticing them to open the door.

Authorities did not say what led up to the shooting. McCabe told reporters that the suspect "invoked his right to not speak."

The suspect fired between 15 to 20 shots before he was taken into custody.

"He’s not telling us anything at this point in time," McCabe said.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, ambulances and SWAT team members responded to the school. Students were evacuated and taken to a store in the area to be reunited with their families.

Oxford High School is located about 45 miles north of Detroit.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer released a statement following the shooting, calling the deaths of students and injuries to others "horrific." She added that it was time for the community to come together to "help our children feel safe at school."

"As Michiganders, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect each other from gun violence," Whitmer said. "No one should be afraid to go to school, work, a house of worship, or even their own home. Gun violence is a public health crisis that claims lives every day."

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also said that President Joe Biden has been informed of the shooting.

"The traveling team will remain in close touch with the team back at the White House and provide regular updates to the President as new information surfaces," Psaki said.

I’m all about second amendment but what we really need to control more is WHO gets their hands on weapons. They need to tighten up more background checks, the courses needed, mental health checks and approval of getting guns, etc because this is getting out of control. I don’t know, just my two cents. :thum bdown

A terrible tragedy. I always hate seeing how scared the kids are. Let’s hope the trial isn’t drawn out like Cruz’s.

Uneducated armored car drivers and security guards carry guns, why not allow college degreed and certified teachers to pack heat? Fight fire with return fire (did I just coin a new slogan?). Hall monitors with HK MP5s would make potential mass casualty shooters think twice.

How many times have you seen a concealed carry hero save everybody? Maybe two? Ever in the history of mass shooters

Well, that’s what I’m saying. Regulate it. Enforce it. Make it tough for people to obtain a gun. Can’t speak for the future thereafter but it’s a start.

The three deceased students are 16-year-old T. M, 14-year-old H. St. J, and 17-year-old M.B. M.B died in a patrol car on the way to the hospital.

The deputy saw it was such a grievous wound that there was no time to wait.

Of the eight others who were shot, three remain in critical condition: a 15-year-old boy, a 17-year-old girl, and a 14-year-old girl who is on a ventilator.

It’s looking very tough for this young girl. A 14-year-old boy is in serious condition.

Seven of the injured were students. The eighth was a 47-year-old teacher at the school, who has been discharged from the hospital.

The 9mm pistol the suspect used during the shooting was bought by his father on Black Friday. It was loaded with 7 rounds of ammunition when police arrested the suspect.
