PONTIAC (AP) — Pontiac police say three middle school boys beat one homeless man to death and critically injured a second during a three-day violence spree.

Police are holding two 14-year-olds and one 15-year-old, all students at Jefferson Middle School. They're expected to face murder charges.

Police say the boys attacked Wilford Hamilton Thursday. He died Monday at POH Regional Medical Center. They say the boys attacked a second homeless man Friday, and he remained in critical condition at the hospital Tuesday.

Police tell the Detroit Free Press and WDIV-TV the teens attacked two other men Saturday before they were caught.
