"The whole thing lasted five minutes," he said.

The suspect did not provide any information to police, and he demanded his right to an attorney after his parents advised him not to speak.

Abbey Hodder, a 15-year-old student, told the Detroit Free Press newspaper about Tuesday's shooting.

She, she said, was in the chemistry classroom when she heard the sound of glass breaking.

"My teacher kind of ran out and was scrambling," she said.

"The next thing I knew I saw he was pushing tables. It's part of school protocol to barricade, so we all knew, barricade, barricade down. And we all started pushing tables."

McCabe praised the high school's alertness in dealing with shooting incidents and carrying out an orderly evacuation.

US President Joe Biden has been briefed by National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan of the shooting, White House spokesman Jan Psaki told reporters.

A 15-year-old boy opened fire with a semi-automatic pistol, killing three colleagues at Oxford High School in Michigan and wounding eight people.
