Three students killed in US high school shooting: Police

WASHINGTON, 02 December 2021, (TON): Police said “a 15-year-old student allegedly opened fire at a high school in rural Michigan, killing three other students before being taken into custody.”

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said in a statement “six others, including one teacher, were wounded in the attack, which took place shortly after noon at Oxford High School.”

A second-year student was taken into custody and a handgun was seized, but there was no immediate explanation for what prompted the attack in Oxford, a small town about 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of Detroit.

The sheriff's office said "there was no resistance during the arrest and the suspect has asked for a lawyer and has not made any statements as to a motive.”

Undersheriff Michael McCabe told reporters "it's a very tragic situation.”

He said "we have three deceased victims right now, who are all believed to be students.”
