DETROIT, MI. (AP) -- A judge has ordered three teenagers to stand trial on murder charges in the shooting-death of a Detroit high school junior.

Police say 16-year-old Christopher Walker was killed and two other students and an ex-student were wounded Oct. 20 near Henry Ford High School. Police say the attack followed a fight inside the school.

A Detroit district judge ruled Thursday there's enough evidence to try 18-year-olds Devon Bell and Derryck Brantley and 15-year-old William Morton on charges of murder and assault with intent to murder.

Brantley's lawyer has said his client was giving Bell and Morton a ride and didn't know the victims.

Morton is charged as an adult. The suspects face life in prison without parole of convicted of first-degree murder.
