OXFORD, Mich. (WXYZ) — A brief scare occurred during a Friday night vigil for the victims of the Oxford School Shooting in Downtown Oxford.
The crowd became scared when someone in the crowd suffered a medical emergency. They briefly began to flee the area, but pleas from the stage, including from Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter and Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard, were able to bring the situation back under control.
The incident happened during Coulter's speech, which he began after Bouchard spoke to the crowd.
