Our live coverage of the Michigan high school shooting has ended. Read the latest here.
Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Tuesday night that their office did not hear any rumors about the shooting beforehand.
Bouchard cautioned against the spreading of rumors on social media and said the investigation into motive is still underway. He reiterated that there was still no information on a motive, particularly because the shooting suspect is currently not speaking to authorities.
The sheriff noted Tuesday that examining the suspect’s social media posts, including recent posts of the handgun recovered at the scene, are a part of their investigation.
Bouchard said sheriff deputy’s cars were dispatched at 12:52 p.m. on Tuesday and arrived at the school minutes later. Officials had the shooting suspect in custody within “two to three minutes” of their arrival, he said.
Bouchard said the suspect put his hands up when law enforcement officers approached. The suspect did not say anything when he was arrested, he added.
Two 15-round magazines were also found at the scene. Bouchard said it’s “more than likely” that a third magazine will be found, since there were allegedly three that were purchased. At least 12 rounds were fired, Bouchard said.
The crime scene is still being examined and the process is expected to go “all night long,” Bouchard said. He added that a cell phone was among the items seized at the suspect’s home.
A 16-year-old boy, who was among three students killed at the shooting at Oxford High School, died in an Oakland Sheriff’s deputy’s car on the way to the hospital, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.
The deputy loaded the teenager into his patrol car due to the “severity of the wounds” to bring him to the hospital, but “sadly that child died in the car,” Bouchard said.
All families have been notified. The names of the deceased students are as follows, per Bouchard:
The eight people who were injured include seven students and one teacher. Per Bouchard, their details are as follows:
Bouchard said there were multiple other non-life-threatening injuries sustained by people as they were rushing out of the school. Most were treated and released at a staging area, he said.

The semiautomatic handgun recovered by law enforcement at Oxford High School was bought by the 15-year-old shooting suspect’s father on November 26, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Tuesday night.
The handgun, a 9mm Sig Sauer SP2022 pistol that was loaded at the time it was confiscated, still contained seven rounds, Bouchard said.
Bouchard said the shooting suspect is still not speaking with police and said they cannot identify him at this point because he is a juvenile. The suspect is being held at the Oakland County Children’s Village, a juvenile detention center in Pontiac, Michigan, Bouchard said.
The 15-year-old is a resident of Oxford, Michigan, Bouchard said.
The suspect in the shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan was apprehended without incident, according to Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe.

Authorities believe the shooter at Oxford High School in Michigan acted alone, Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said Tuesday.
