Authorities say a 17 year old boy has become the fourth student to die from a school shooting in Michigan.

The Oakland County sheriff's office identified the teen Wednesday as Justin Shilling.

The shooting occurred Tuesday at Oxford High School in Oakland County.

The suspect remains in custody.

Seven other people were wounded, some critically, including a 14 year old girl who was placed on a ventilator after surgery.

Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe said three students who were killed as a 16 year old boy and two girls, ages 14 and 17.

Authorities say they received a flood of 911 calls shortly before 2 p.m. about an attack at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, a community roughly 30 miles north of Detroit. McCabe says deputies took the shooting suspect, a 15 year old sophomore into custody without incident.
