School district locks doors after rash of shootings

WIXOM — A school district is locking doors as police continue the search for the person responsible for a series of shootings last week in a four-county area in Michigan.

A police task force is investigating 20 shootings in Livingston, Oakland, Ingham and Shiawassee counties. There have been no new shootings since Thursday, although authorities have added two from the small mid-Michigan city of Perry, off U.S. 69.

In the Walled Lake school district, students in Wixom are having indoor recess Monday, and the doors are locked. They're not sure how long the policy will be in effect. Wixom has had half the shootings.

Authorities on Sunday released a drawing of a man suspected in the shootings. Tipsters tell police he appears to be a white man in his 30s. One witness described the suspect’s vehicle as resembling a dark 1998 Oldsmobile Alero or a 1998 Toyota Camry.
