Police seize armfuls of weapons from Michigan shooter’s home…
The Michigan high school shooter who killed four classmates and injured seven others yesterday at Oxford High School is now refusing to speak to police at the juvenile detention center where he is being held.
The 15-year-old suspect has not yet been named by police because he is a minor. It remains unclear if he will be charged as an adult or a juvenile but he is being held at Oakland County Children’s Village, where he is on suicide watch and being checked on every 15 minutes.
He opened fire at Oxford High School in Michigan, on Tuesday afternoon, shooting dead Hana St. Juliana, 14, Tate Myre, 16, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17. Eight others were killed in the attack that he carried out with his father’s 9mm Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun.
A fourth teen, Justin Shilling, 17, died in the hospital on Wednesday morning.
The shooter’s father bought the weapon that was used in the attack just four days ago. The teenager posted pictures of it on social media before Tuesday’s attack.
‘He had been shooting with it and posted pictures of a target and the weapon. That’s all part of what’s being looked at. We’re going to do a deep dive on the social media and all the activities of this young man,’ Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said during a Tuesday night press conference.
On Tuesday night, police were seen at the shooter’s family home removing multiple, long-barreled guns. Now, the teenage boy is refusing to speak with the authorities at the Oakland Juvenile Center and his parents have hired an attorney to represent him.
Cops recovered a 9mm Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun, purchased by the gunman’s father on Friday. They later said the suspect had fired at least 12 rounds and had seven more rounds of ammunition when he surrendered. It is not yet clear where in the school the shooter started his rampage.
