学生讲述教室里的路障
牛津高中的大四学生艾登佩奇周二告诉美国有线电视新闻网的安德森库珀，枪手离他的教室太近了，一颗子弹穿透了佩奇和其他学生用来设置门路障的一张桌子。
佩奇说，当他、其他学生和他的老师听到两声枪响时，一切都进入了高潮。
“我们听到两声枪响，在那之后，我的老师跑进房间，锁上门，设置路障，然后盖上窗户躲起来，”他说。
佩奇说，这门课被封锁了一个小时。在那段时间里，一些学生用他们能找到的任何东西武装自己。
“我们拿了计算器，拿了剪刀，以防射手进来，我们不得不攻击他们，”他说。 “有些人在哭泣，有些人试图支持其他人。其他人则试图提出一些想法以防万一。”
佩奇说整个经历都是“疯狂的”，他考虑过自己是否能度过这场磨难。
“我脑子里的第一件事就是，‘这真的发生了吗？我要给我的家人发短信，说我爱他们，以防万一，如果我死了。'然后当一切都平静下来时，我能够喘口气，把事情合理化，”他说。
“回来肯定会很奇怪，尤其是知道有人受伤，还有几个学生也死了。”
总统和州政府官员对枪击事件作出反应
总统乔拜登星期二在明尼苏达州对枪击事件发表讲话，他说：“我的心与那些忍受失去亲人的难以想象的悲痛的家庭同在。”

内塞尔说：“我的心与失去孩子的父母、学生、教师、工作人员和在社区内因学校枪击事件而感到震惊的家庭同在。” “如果我们继续只提供思想和祈祷，我们必须采取行动妥善解决学校中的枪支暴力以及另一场不合情理的悲剧的持续威胁。我们的孩子应该得到更好的。”
底特律的职业运动队——包括老虎队、红翼队、活塞队和雄狮队——发布了关于枪击事件的声明。
底特律雄狮队在推特上写道：“我们和所有受到今天牛津悲惨事件影响的人一样感到心碎。” “作为一个组织，我们向受害者祈祷，并在这个痛苦的时刻为整个牛津社区提供支持。”
3 dead, 8 injured in shooting at Michigan high school, undersheriff says
(CNN)A 15-year-old boy is in custody after three students died and eight were injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon at a high school in Oxford, Michigan, authorities said.
The Oxford High School students killed were a 16-year-old boy, a 14-year-old girl and a 17-year-old girl, Oakland County Undersheriff Michael G. McCabe said at a news conference.
Eight others were shot, one of whom is believed to be a teacher, McCabe said. Of the eight injured, two are currently in surgery and the other six are in stable condition with various gunshot wounds, McCabe said.
"I think this is every parent's worst nightmare," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who added that shootings at schools are "a uniquely American problem that we need to address."
"My heart goes out to the families. This is an unimaginable tragedy. I hope we can all rise to the occasion and wrap our arms around the families, the affected children and school personnel and this community," Whitmer said.
The suspect, a sophomore at the school, was taken into custody without incident five minutes after authorities responded to the shooting, McCabe said. His parents have hired an attorney and have not permitted him to talk to police, McCabe said.
How the shooting unfolded
McCabe said calls for an active shooter came in around 12:51 p.m. ET. Oxford is about 45 miles north of Detroit.
"We received over 100 911 calls to our dispatch center," McCabe said.
The deputy who is assigned to Oxford High School and another deputy took the suspect into custody, McCabe said.
A handgun was recovered from the suspect, McCabe said. Authorities recovered multiple shell casings in the school and believe around 15-20 shots were fired. There is no indication the suspect was wearing body armor, McCabe said.
"At this point in time, we believe he acted alone," McCabe said. He said that authorities are aware of how the suspect allegedly got the gun into the school, but declined to divulge those details.
All evacuated students were relocated to a nearby store for reunification with relatives. About 25 agencies and close to 60 ambulances responded, according to John Lyman, public information officer for the Rochester Hills Fire Department.
The families of the victims have been notified. It is not currently known whether the three students killed were targeted, McCabe said.
"We've done three sweeps of the high school to make sure there's no other victims," he said. "We don't have a motive at this point in time. We are still investigating that."
A search warrant has been executed at the suspect's home, McCabe said.
McCabe said the suspect could be charged as an adult, but that is up to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office. Prosecutor Karen D. McDonald said in a statement Tuesday her office has "begun the process of receiving information regarding the investigation" into the shooting.
"I was both horrified and saddened to learn about the shootings at Oxford High School this afternoon. My office and I have been in constant communication with the Sheriff's Office, the Oakland County Juvenile Court and other governmental and law enforcement bodies," McDonald said. "It is our intent to review it thoroughly and issue appropriate charges quickly."
Oxford Community School officials released a statement confirming the shooting and saying the Oakland County Sheriff's Department secured the scene.
"Oxford High School students and staff are systematically being evacuated to the Meijer Garden Center and may be picked up there. Any students with their own transportation have been allowed to leave. All other district schools are in lockdown for safety purposes and are in no danger," read the statement, obtained by CNN affiliate WDIV.
Superintendent Tim Throne said at the news conference the shooting left him shocked. "It's devastating," he said.
Throne declined to say why there were no metal detectors in the school, but did say that to his knowledge, metal detectors never came up in conversation prior to the shooting.
Student recounts barricading in classroom
Aiden Page, a senior at Oxford High School, told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday the shooter was so close to his classroom that a bullet pierced one of the desks Page and other students used to barricade the door.
Page said everything kicked into high gear when he, other students and his teachers heard two gunshots.
"We heard two gunshots and after that, my teacher ran into the room, locked it, we barricaded and then we covered the windows and hid," he said.
The class was on lockdown for an hour, Page said. During that time, some students armed themselves with whatever they could find.
"We grabbed calculators, we grabbed scissors just in case the shooter got in and we had to attack them," he said. "Some were crying, some were trying to support others. Others were trying to come up with ideas just in case."
Page said the entire experience was "insane" and he contemplated whether he would live through the ordeal.
"The very first thing in my head was, 'Is this actually happening? I'm going to text my family, say I love them just in case, if I were to die.' Then when everything calmed down for a second, I was able to catch my breath and rationalize things," he said.
"It's definitely going to be weird coming back, especially knowing people were injured and a couple of students died as well."
President and state officials react to shooting
President Joe Biden addressed the shooting Tuesday while in Minnesota, saying, "My heart goes out to the families enduring the unimaginable grief of losing a loved one."
"You've gotta know that that whole community has to be in a state of shock right now," Biden said.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said her department has offered assistance to local law enforcement and that she extended her "sincere gratitude" to the first responders on the scene.
"My heart goes out to the parents who have lost their children and to the students, teachers, staff, and families reeling from the tragedy of a school shooting within their community," Nessel said. "We must act to properly address gun violence in our schools and the ongoing threat of another unconscionable tragedy if we continue to only offer thoughts and prayers. Our kids deserve better."
The professional sports teams of Detroit -- including the Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons and Lions -- released statements about the shooting.
"We share in the heartbreak felt by all of those impacted by today's tragic events in Oxford," the Detroit Lions tweeted. "We as an organization extend our prayers to the victims and offer support to the entire Oxford community during this painful time."
