Horrific video shows students cowering from a 15-year-old gunman who identified himself as a sheriff’s deputy and shot dead three students at a Michigan high school, wounding six others including teacher.
A voice in the video, which students said belong to the shooter, could be heard trying to coax the students out of hiding.
‘Sheriff’s office,’ the boy said. ‘You can come out.’
The suspected shooter, a sophomore at the school, was arrested within five minutes of the original call, police said and police said an on-scene school resource officer assisted in nabbing him.
Upward of 20 shots were fired by the teen as 911 operators received more than 100 frantic 911 calls.
Masses of stunned students, some crying and others huddled together, emerged from the school following the massacre.
‘It’s a very tragic situation, obviously,’ Undersheriff Mike McCabe said during a press conference. ‘You never want to prepare for something like this, but you have to, and the school district has done a wonderful job preparing.’
Oxford Community Schools superintendent Tim Throne had little to add at the scene, saying he wasn’t sure which students were shot and which one pulled the trigger.
‘You certainly can pray for our families here in Oxford and our students,’ he said. ‘I’m learning information in real time just as you are.
‘Of course, I’m shocked.’
