Authorities say eight people were wounded in an attack at a Michigan high school in which three students were killed.

Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe said at a news conference that two of the wounded were undergoing surgery as of 5 p.m.

Tuesday and the six others were in stable condition.

He identified the three students who were killed as a 16 year old boy and two girls, ages 14 and 17.

Authorities say they received a flood of 911 calls shortly before 2 p.m. about an attack at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, a community roughly 30 miles north of Detroit.

McCabe says deputies took the shooting suspect, a 15 year old sophomore, into custody without incident.

US President Joe Biden offered his condolences to the families of eight people wounded in today's attack.
