New death after the shooting in a high school in Michigan (United States). A student injured during the tragedy on Tuesday, November 30, succumbed to his injuries, bringing the death toll to four. “We are saddened to announce that a fourth victim has succumbed to his injuries”Oakland County Sheriff’s services on their Facebook page on Wednesday. Justin Shilling, 17, died in hospital at around 10:45 a.m. local time (4:45 p.m. French time), Sheriff Michael Bouchard told AFP. Six injured students remained hospitalized Wednesday while the teacher, slightly injured in the shoulder, left the hospital on Tuesday.
The perpetrator of the shooting, a 15-year-old high school student “clearly came to kill people”, the sheriff claimed on CNN on Wednesday, noting that he had fired at least 30 bullets. “He would shoot people at point blank range, often aiming at the head or chest”, he added. The gunman went to the police inside the school itself and was taken into custody. He remained silent on the motives for his gesture, his parents having asked him not to speak to the police, according to the authorities. The student, whose identity has not been made public, used a Sig Sauer SP 2022 9mm semi-automatic pistol, purchased by his father on Friday, the day of the big Black Friday promotions, according to police.
