Oxford Shooting Victim Returns Home From Hospital

OXFORD, MI — Oxford shooting victim Phoebe Arthur, 14, is home from the hospital after she was wounded by a gunshot at Oxford High School last Tuesday.

"My sweet baby is HOME GOD IS GOOD," her mother Sandy Cunningham wrote on a verified GoFundMe page set up to help the 14-year-old Oxford High School gunshot victim, according to the Detroit Free Press.

"OUR COMMUNITY IS AMAZING lots of love to you all!"

The GoFundMe page was set up by Naomi Ernest and Edward Ernest, a cousin. As of Monday, the page raised $73,298 though 1,300 donations. Its goal is $100,000.

"She was shot critically in the chest and neck," Naomi Ernest said. "Thankfully, a friend kept Phoebe out of harm's way, holding her, praying with her, and putting compressions on Phoebe's wounds to stop the bleeding until paramedics could arrive. Phoebe sustained serious injuries that required immediate surgery, after which she was put on a ventilator until stable."

"Through it all, her mom says Phoebe 'has been the strongest, bravest, most epic human. She is a fighter.'"

All the money will go to Phoebe's mother, which will be used to help cover expenses related to the trauma, both short-term and long term, the page said.
