A fourth teenager died Wednesday after a shooting at a Michigan high school where a 15-year-old student opened fire “with the intent to kill,” police said.

Four teenagers were killed and seven people injured after the shooting unfolded Tuesday afternoon at Oxford High School in Oakland County, roughly 45 minutes northwest of Detroit. A suspect was taken into custody at the scene.

“He came out with the intent to kill people. He was shooting people at close range often times toward the head or chest,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said on CNN on Wednesday morning. “It’s chilling. It’s just absolutely cold-hearted murderous.”

Bouchard said the suspect fired through barricaded classroom doors and tried to breach doors.
