Suspect ID'd After 4th Student Dies Following Oxford High School Shooting

Updated, 4:30 p.m.

OXFORD, MI — Authorities have charged a 15-year-old student with terrorism and first-degree murder in connection with a mass shooting at Oxford High School on Tuesday. The shooting left four students dead and injured seven others.

The suspect in Tuesday's deadly attack was identified as 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, according to Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. Crumbley was arraigned Wednesday and was charged with the following:

• 4 counts of first-degree murder
• 7 counts of assault with intent to murder
• 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony
• 1 count of terrorism causing death

Crumbley is accused of firing about 15-20 shots from a semiautomatic handgun just before 1 p.m., officials said. Police received more than 100 calls about the shooting and apprehended the teen within five minutes of the first 911 call.

During a news conference, McDonald said there could be additional charges filed in the coming days. Crumbley's parents could also face charges, she said.

Oakland County Sheriff’s Lt. Tim Willis said during Crumbley's court hearing that the boy recorded video the night before the violence in which he discussed shooting and killing students. McDonald supported the assertion that the shootings were pre-meditated based in part on a “mountain of digital evidence” collected by police.

“This was not just an impulsive act,” McDonald said.

The shooting should be a wakeup call for new gun laws in a country that has become "desensitized to school shootings," McDonald told reporters.

"We have to do better," she continued. "How many times does this have to happen? How many times?"

Artist, Football Player Among Fatalities

The charges against Crumbley were announced just hours after Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe identified the fourth victim as 17-year-old Justin Shilling. Also killed in the attack were 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin, 16-year-old Tate Myre and 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana.

Madisyn Baldwin was an artist who loved to draw, read and write, her family told WDIV. She had a younger half-brother and two sisters she dearly loved.

"It's just surreal. Traumatizing. She touched so many people," her grandmother told WDIV.

Tate Myre died in a sheriff's deputy's car en route to the hospital, officials said.

"There was no time to wait," Bouchard said. "He tried to load him into the car to get him as fast as he could to a hospital."

Myre was a varsity football player for the Oxford Wildcats at the high school. The team released a social media post remembering Myre.

"It is with great grief that one of the victims of the tragic event at OHS today was one of our own, Tate Myre," the team said. "Tate was on varsity since his freshman year and was an honor student. Tate was a great young man with a bright future and beloved by all. You will be missed, Tate."

A petition was started to rename the team's stadium from Wildcat stadium to Tate Myre stadium. As of Wednesday morning, the petition had over 43,000 signatures.

Fourteen-year-old Hana St. Juliana, a freshman at Oxford High School, was also shot to death. She was a player on the freshman volleyball team.

Shooter's Motive Still Unclear

The teen suspect had been in class Tuesday, McCabe told the Free Press. Following his arrest, he invoked his right not to speak to investigators and requested a lawyer.

Sheriff Mike Bouchard later told reporters that Crumbley's parents had been called to the school before the violence. Bouchard wouldn’t discuss details of the behavior school officials were concerned about.

"There is nothing that he could have faced that would warrant senseless, absolutely brutal violence on other kids," he said.

After additional review, investigators said Crumbley may have fired more than 30 rounds while inside the school, a conclusion based on shell casings discovered at the scene. Authorities said he had at least two, 15-round magazines for a 9mm Sig Sauer SP2022 pistol.

Authorities are also searching Crumbley's cell phone, school video footage and social media posts for evidence of a possible motive.

Crumbley is currently in custody at Oakland County's Children Village, the county's juvenile detention facility, McCabe told the Free Press. He is under suicide watch and is remaining silent.

"The person that's got the most insight and the motive is not talking," Bouchard said.

Threats Of Violence Loomed

Authorities were made aware of posts on social media that contained threats of a shooting at the roughly 1,700-student school, but Bouchard said they didn't know about the rumors until after the attack, the AP reported.

He stressed how crucial it is for tips of that kind to be sent to authorities, while also cautioning against spreading social media rumors before a full investigation.

McCabe also downplayed the significance of a situation in early November when a deer head was thrown off the school roof, which he said was "absolutely unrelated" to the shooting. The vandalism prompted school administrators to post two letters to parents on the school's website, saying they responded to rumors of a threat against the school but had found none.

Robin Redding's son, Treshan Bryant, is a 12th grader at the school but stayed home Tuesday. Redding said her son had heard threats of a possible shooting.

"This couldn't be just random," she told the AP.

Bryant said he texted several younger cousins in the morning and they said they didn't want to go to school, and he got a bad feeling. He asked his mom if he could do his assignments online.

Bryant said he had heard vague threats "for a long time now" about plans for a shooting.

Students Armed Themselves With Scissors, Calculators

As the sounds of gunfire rang through the school and an urgent message on the loudspeaker, students barricaded doors and grabbed scissors for self-defense.

"We grabbed calculators, we grabbed scissors just in case the shooter got in and we had to attack them," senior Aiden Page told CNN's Anderson Cooper.

The campus was placed on lockdown during the attack, prompting children and teachers to shelter in locked classrooms. Students were later taken to a nearby Meijer grocery store to be picked up by their parents.

In a statement, the district said all schools would be closed for the rest of the week.
