PONTIAC, MI — A fourth student is dead after a classmate opened fire at Oxford High School on Tuesday, authorities confirmed Wednesday.

The fourth victim was identified as 17-year-old Justin Shilling, according to the Oakland County's Sheriff's Office. Shilling died at McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac at approximately 10 a.m.

Shilling was one of eight people taken to hospitals with gunshot wounds.

At one point, Shilling was a member of the high school boy's bowling and golf teams, according to the district's website. He was a co-captain of the bowling team. He was also a class of 2022 academic award winner.

Managers of Anita's Kitchen, a restaurant in nearby Lake Orion, said Shilling worked there — one of many employees who attended Oxford High School since they opened, The Associated Press reported.

"Justin was an exemplary employee, a devoted friend and co-worker, co-captain of his bowling team, and simply a pleasure to be around," a message on the restaurant's Facebook page said.

Others injured in the shooting include six unidentified students and a 47-year-old teacher. The teacher and at least three students were treated and released from the hospital.
