At least three students were killed and eight others were injured after a 15-year-old boy opened fire inside Oxford High School in a Detroit suburb.
Stories about bravery and heroics among teachers and students are beginning to surface.
One video, which you can watch below, shows students locked inside a classroom — when suddenly someone knocks on the door.
“Sheriff’s office,” the voice said. “It’s safe to come out.”
Someone inside the classroom wisely told the officer they were not willing to take that risk.
The “officer” then told students, “Okay, well open the door and look at my badge, bro.”
The teens quickly ascertained that something was not right.
“He said, ‘Bro,’ red flag,” another student said.
Within seconds someone had opened a window and the terrified teenagers escaped.
God bless these quick-thinking young people.

Smart, cool, collected kids. Great to see.
Was it a 15 year old boy or was it a teen?
Psych drugs doing their jobs as expected.
If you read the comments, they blame the shooting on the NRA and the Republican party. So far no one has decided to blame the murderer.
So far it seems like a news blackout on any details about the murderer, other than male student at the school.
Many places, where I work included, preach and teach some variation of run-hide-fight. That is, in the event of an active shooter incident, evacuate the area if you can safely. Hide/barricade if you cannot, and as a last resort prepare to fight for your life. (*)
In a situation like this, where you are successfully barricaded, be smart. Wait. Know the statistics and procedures for your area. If the average response time is 10 minutes, know that you probably won't see an organized SWAT or large scale response to an active shooter for twice that. Be prepared to wait 20 or 30 min. If someone comes knocking at 5 min, claiming to be a LEO, first just keep quiet. Don't give away that there are any targets on the other side of the door. If some fool speaks up, tell the alleged LEO that you are all fine, no injuries, and you are going to wait for x minutes before opening the door.
(*) My plan, realized/developed years ago is a little different. Due to security measures, it is virtually impossible for anyone to get to where I work who does not belong there. The only feasible scenario is a disgruntled employee. That means he/she would've had the same exact training I've had and be expecting the run/hide/fight trio. Never be predictable, never give up an advantage. If something goes down, I'm not running, I'm not hiding. I'm hunting. I'm old enough I've done everything I need to do. If it doesn't turn out, so be it. But if I can surprise someone and save lives, great.
Just another finely-tuned, Deep State, MK-ULTRA, robot zombie doing precisely as programmed....nothing to see here.
I believe most school schooters were raised by Democrats. Do we know about this one?
Bingo! Does not fit the narrative.
There may be hope yet!
Another school in Michigan does intense drills/training with teachers for such situations. Some churches in the same area train for active shooters, too. IMO, not drilled enough.
Given that his parents are forbidding the kid to speak with authorities, I would say yes. I hope they do not think the shooter will get some sort of self defense ruling.
Very Caucasian student body from the looks of video. Anyone’s guess as to motive.
Aren’t these videos now BANNED on Twitter because they feature private people?
Sounds like a black kid. Maybe just my ears.
I want to know his race.
So far, nothing. Nothing usually means black.
In the 1991 murders at Luby’s in Killeen, Texas one of the kitchen staff hid in the dishwasher for hours until found by deputies. Smart guy.
