Three students were killed and eight others injured after a shooting at a Michigan high school on Tuesday, officials said, per CNN. President Biden, while appearing at an event in Minnesota, sent his thoughts to the families of the victims, saying his "heart goes out to the families enduring the unimaginable grief of losing their loved one," reports The Associated Press.
A student is reportedly in custody following the shooting, said Oakland County Undersheriff Michael G. McCabe. He described the suspect as a 15-year-old sophomore boy, and said the students killed were a 16-year-old boy, a 14-year-old girl, and a 17-year-old girl, reports CNN. McCabe also said authorities believe the suspect acted alone, and don't yet know what motivated the attack, writes The Washington Post.
