Oxford — The Oakland County Sheriff's Office has identified the three students killed in Tuesday afternoon's mass shooting at Oxford High School.

Late Tuesday, authorities said Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Tate Myre, 16, as the three students who lost their lives following a five-minute rampage at the Oakland County high school.

Sheriff Michael Bouchard said their families have been notified and each family has been assigned a deputy to remain as long as they need and "to provide the protection they deserve."

It is absolutely devastating to tell this, Madisyn is my friends’ cousin, and I knew her, she was always the life of every Christmas party her cousin hosted, her life was taken too early and she had big dreams, END SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. NOW.
