Video emerged from inside Oxford High School Tuesday, showing the terrifying moment when students fled the building as a 15-year-old shooter attacked the school. The shooter killed three of his fellow high school students and wounded eight other people with a semi-automatic handgun.

In the video, which was shared by a parent with local Detriot Fox 2 news, a person can be heard outside the classroom door yells “sheriff’s office, it’s safe to come out.”

A student inside the classroom says “we’re not willing to take that risk right now.”

“Come to the door and look at my badge, bro,” the person outside the door responds. “He said bro. Red flag,” another student is heard saying before everyone in the classroom ran outside the building.

Fox 2 reported “the students opened a window and climbed out and ran across an outside courtyard. On the other side of the courtyard, there was an officer inside the door and said ‘you’re fine.’”

Oxford High School in Oxford, Michigan, about 40 miles (65 km) north of Detroit, the Oakland County Sheriff’s office said.

The motive of the shooter was unknown, officials said.
