FOLLOWING SHOOTING, MICHIGAN STATE TO CLOSE MOST BUILDINGS TO PUBLIC AT NIGHT
Two students, both 16 and juniors at the school, were in an art class and got into a fight with a freshman student, police said. A teacher and several teacher's aides tried to intervene and broke up the fight.

However, the fight started back up moments later and the freshman, 15, pulled out a folding knife and stabbed the other two students.
"One of those students received three stab wounds to his upper body. One student received one stab wound to his left hand," the chief said.
The 16-year-olds were not assigned to the art class but the freshman student was, police said.
The two older teenagers met with a school nurse and were taken to a hospital where one of them died. The 15-year-old fled the school campus but was found by authorities in a creek bed behind a church.
All three had previously been involved in altercations before Wednesday's killing, authorities said.
