The 15-year-old student arrested after a deadly shooting at Michigan’s Oxford High School that killed four students and injured seven others reportedly made a video about killing students the night before the attack.
Oakland County Sheriff’s Lt. Tim Willis told reporters on Wednesday that multiple videos were recovered from the student’s phone.
The files included “a video made by him the night before the incident wherein he talked about shooting and killing students the next day at Oxford High School.” Willis said.
“Further, a journal was recovered from [the student’s] backpack also detailing his desire to shoot up a school to include murdering students,” he added.
The contents of the video have not been released to the public.
The shooting suspect was charged with first-degree murder and terrorism, an Oakland County prosecutor announced on Wednesday.
The student is being charged as an adult and his name was released; however, The Daily Wire will not share his name pursuant to our policy against naming the perpetrators in mass casualty incidents. The shooter will also face seven counts of assault with intent to kill and 12 counts of possession of a firearm.
“This isn’t even a close call,” Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald told reporters on Wednesday during a press conference. “This was absolutely premeditated.”
“There is a mountain of digital evidence,” she added, noting that the investigation is ongoing.
Three students were reported dead on Tuesday. A fourth victim died on Wednesday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.
Justin Shilling, 17, passed away at approximately 10:00 a.m. local time at McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac just one day after the shooting tragedy that took the lives of three students.

The three students who died on the day of the incident included Tate Myre, a 16-year-old football player, who died in a sheriff’s deputy’s car while traveling to the hospital; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Madisyn Baldwin, 17.
It is with great grief that one of the victims of the tragic event at OHS today was one of our own, Tate Myre. 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 💙💛 pic.twitter.com/AKJCH1UWBG
