WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- A shooting in a primary school in Detroit, Michigan, Thursday left one high-school student dead and three others injured, police said.

    The students were from Henry Ford High School and were sitting on a lawn of a primary school near to their own school, Detroit Police Chief James Barren told reporters.

    An unknown man came out of a car and shot them, before fleeing with his car.
