Oxford High School graduates who survived one mass shooting and are now grappling with another at Michigan State University: 'When will this end?'

• Some students who survived the Oxford High School shooting just experienced another deadly shooting at MSU.
• A gunman killed 3 students and injured 5 others at Michigan State University on Monday night.

Just months after Oxford High School students survived a mass shooting, some graduates are now grappling with another deadly school shooting at Michigan State University.

On Monday night, a gunman opened fire on campus at Michigan State University, killing three students and critically injuring five more, authorities said.

It was the second tragedy to strike the area. In November 2021, a student at Oxford High School brought a gun into the building and opened fire, killing four students about 80 miles away from MSU.

Now, seniors who graduated from Oxford High School in 2022 – and lived through the shooting there — who joined the freshman class of MSU are again in the midst of a deadly mass shooting.

A livestream of students evacuating during the MSU shooting showed one teen wearing an "Oxford Strong" sweatshirt, which would have been given out after the last mass killing.

"We have children in Michigan who are living through their second school shooting in under a year and a half" Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin said at a police press conference. "If this is not a wake-up call to do something, I don't know what is."

MSU student Emma Riddle said she had to evacuate from Oxford High School during the mass shooting.

"Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone 'I love you,' " she wrote on Twitter. "When will this end?"

Andrea Ferguson, whose daughter was a Oxford High School shooting survivor, told Local 4 that her child texted her "unbelievably terrified" as news of the shooting broke.

"It's really, really surreal to have to worry about this, and to know exactly what to do," she said.

Jennifer Mancini, the mother of one MSU freshman, told the Detroit Free Press that she had just spent a year helping her daughter deal with losing two of her closest friends in the Oxford shooting, where she was a senior.

"She said that she had PTSD," Mancini said of her daughter, the Detroit Free Press reported. "She said she can't believe this is happening again."

Mancini's daughter reportedly called her begging to come home, according to the Detroit Free Press.

A science writer, Dagmar Gross, said they have two nephews at MSU, one of whom also survived the Oxford High School shooting.

"They are both keeping me posted as best they can, are locked down and taking cover," Gross posted on Twitter. "I'm devastated. I'm so glad my mother is no longer alive to experience this. The Oxford shooting nearly killed her."

Police have identified a suspect in the MSU shooting as a 43-year-old man but haven't detailed a motive and said he doesn't appear to have any connection to the university. He died by suicide on Monday before he was caught by police.
