An investigation continues into a school shooting Tuesday in which four students died and six students and a teacher were injured at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan. A 15-year-old sophomore identified as Ethan Crumbley was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, terrorism and related gun crimes. Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald charged him as an adult. He faces life in prison without possibility of parole if convicted. “He came out with the intent to kill people. He was shooting people at close range oftentimes toward the head or chest,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard told CNN Wednesday. Two students were pronounced dead at the scene and a third died while being taken to a hospital. The fourth died in a hospital Wednesday morning. The suspect was silent and District Court Judge Nancy Carniak entered a plea of not guilty to all charges on his behalf. He was denied bond. The suspect was transferred to Oakland County Jail from the county’s Children’s Village, a juvenile detention facility in Pontiac, Michigan. Prosecutors said he would be kept “out of sight and sound from adults” at the jail. Police believe he acted alone and are investigating whether the shooting was random or targeted. About 30 shots were fired at the south end of the school about 42 miles north of Detroit. About 1,800 students attend the school. Bouchard said police have a ” tremendous amount of video footage ” from school cameras.
