\nAn 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. \u201cHe came out with the intent to kill people. He was shooting people at close range oftentimes toward the head or chest,\u201d 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 \u00ab\u00a0out of sight and sound from adults\u00a0\u00bb 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 \u00a0\u00bb tremendous amount of video footage \u00a0\u00bb from school cameras. Here is what is known about the shooting. All times are approximate. An active shooter is announced over the school intercom. Teachers and students lock and barricade doors and cover windows. Police begin receiving 911 calls about an active shooter at Oxford High School. More than 100 calls are logged. The suspect’s actions were described in court Wednesday by prosecutors, who said he entered a bathroom with a backpack, but came out without the backpack and a gun in his hand. \u201cAt that point, he methodically and deliberately walked down a hallway, aiming the firearm at students and firing,\u201d said Assistant Prosecutor Marc Keast. \u201cAfter children started running away from the defendant he continued down the hallway again at a deliberate and methodical pace, pointing and aiming inside classrooms and at students who hadn\u2019t had the opportunity to escape.\u201d Police cars are sent to the school. In a TikTok video, students huddled in a classroom hear someone identify himself as a sheriff’s deputy and say it’s safe to come out. \u00ab\u00a0We’re not willing to take that risk right now,\u00a0\u00bb a teacher says. \u00ab\u00a0Come to the door and look at my badge, bro,\u00a0\u00bb the person says. \u00ab\u00a0He said ‘bro,'\u00a0\u00bb a student says. \u00ab\u00a0Red flag.\u00a0\u00bb The students climb out a window and run across an outdoor courtyard and are ushered inside a hallway by law enforcement. Sheriff Michael Bouchard later says the person in the hallway was most likely a plainclothes deputy. The suspect surrenders to deputies without incident in a school hallway. He is carrying a handgun with seven rounds of live ammunition, authorities say. Police said he is from Oxford, a village of about 3,400 people. Police recover a semi-automatic handgun identified as a 9mm Sig Sauer SP 2022 pistol and two 15-round magazines. Officials said the suspect invoked his right to remain silent and did not speak in depth with authorities. As a minor, he can’t legally be questioned without his parents’ consent. Students are released from lockdown. Medical helicopters land in the school parking lot as a secondary search is carried out around the school perimeter. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said Tuesday that the handgun and three magazines were purchased by the suspect’s father four days earlier on Black Friday. Police execute a search warrant at the suspect’s home and seize his cellphone and what appear to be several long guns. A fourth student, Justin Shilling,17, dies at 10 a.m. at McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac. The Oakland County prosecutor says that facts of the shooting suggest it was not an impulsive act and that her office was considering charges against the suspect’s parents. The charges: The Oxford shooting, the 29th this year, is the deadliest U.S. school shooting since May 2018, when eight students and two teachers were killed at Santa Fe High School in Texas, according to Education Week.
