The teenager who allegedly gunned down three classmates and injured eight others took his father's gun with him to his Michigan high school, officials said.
The suspected gunman, a 15-year-old boy, was taken into custody after the Tuesday afternoon shooting at Oxford High School in Oxford Township. The semiautomatic handgun, a 9mm Sig Sauer pistol, was confiscated, officials said.
Three students ages 14 to 17 were killed and eight others, including a teacher, were injured.
The suspect's father purchased the weapon on Black Friday and officials are looking into how the family stored its guns and how much access the teen had to them, according to a source briefed on the investigation. The suspect had apparently used the gun prior to the school shooting, the source said.
