In the same vein, Bouchard pointed out that there were multiple other non-life-threatening injuries sustained by people as they were rushing out of the school, affirming that most were treated and released at a staging area.
"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."

A 15-year-old Oxford High School sophomore, armed with a semiautomatic handgun, is accused of the shooting. He was taken into custody after authorities responded to the shooting.
Meantime, the suspect is being held at Oakland County Children's Village -- a juvenile detention facility -- and is on suicide watch where he is being checked on every 15 minutes, according to David Coulter, the Oakland County executive.
