Three students were killed and six others were injured in a high school in Michigan, United States, where a 15-year-old boy opened fire. The ABC reports it citing local authorities. The perpetrator of the shooting, which took place at Oxford High School in Oxford north of Detroit, was arrested. A teacher was also injured, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said. The student’s weapon, a pistol, was confiscated.
The reasons behind the teenager’s crazy gesture are not yet clear and the authorities are investigating. The alert went off shortly before 1pm local time, when a shower of phone calls invaded the 911 switchboard, the American 113. The police arrived at the scene within a few minutes and reportedly blocked the killer by snatching his semi-automatic pistol with which, however, he had managed to fire 15-20 shots.
