(11,085 posts)30+ miles from the border of Detroit. About the same as the distance from Detroit to Ann Arbor. Not as far as Toledo, Ohio.
Basically, no. No, it is not part of Detroit, nor even very close to Detroit. Not really even a suburb of Detroit. It's about six towns north.

The area was so WASP when I lived there that I used to joke that I, a Catholic, was the token minority.

This was so long ago that there was no speed limit on light. Gas was so cheap that no one cared how fast you went.

This country is sick.

(3,466 posts)Six others shot, including a teacher. Suspect is in custody. Oxford is a township north of the northern suburbs of Detroit. One of our friends has 2 daughters at the school, they are both safe, but one of their friends was shot and his condition is not known. Updates will be provided to the public at 5pm EST. Absolutely traumatic for these folks.

The suspect was apprehended without incident within five minutes of police arrival, Undersheriff Michael G. McCabe said.
A handgun was recovered from the suspect, McCabe said. Authorities recovered multiple shell casings in the school and believe around 15-to-20 shots were fired.
"At this point in time, we believe he acted alone," McCabe said.
The 15-year-old did not resist arrest, has invoked his right not to speak and is not telling law enforcement officers anything right now, McCabe said.'""""
I HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO ALLOWED THE KILLER TO GET HIS HANDS ON THE GUN AND AMMO GO TO PRISON FOR A DECADE FOR EACH COUNT OF MURDER!!
