La ilaha. I just heard there was a shooting at a high school again.
Within about five minutes of the call, Oakland County sheriff's deputies had taken a suspect into custody, Undersheriff Michael McCabe said during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Police initially said it is believed about 15 to 20 shots were fired in the incident, and in the south end of the school. As the investigation continued Tuesday night, officials said they believe it was at least 12 based on shell casings. The investigation remains underway.
McCabe said the school did "everything right" and had everyone take shelter.
Oxford High School students told reporters of a chaotic scene in which a voice came over the intercom to announce an active shooter and they didn't know whether it was a drill. Then teachers rushed to lock and barricade doors and cover windows. Students were in tears and texted loved ones.
SWAT, more than 60 ambulances and an aviation unit were all called to the scene. FBI agents were also present Tuesday afternoon.
Eventually, students with transportation were allowed to leave. A nearby Meijer closed down and served as a reunification site for parents and students.
Eight people were injured, including a teacher. Three were in critical condition, Bouchard said Tuesday night:
