A fourth student, a 17-year-old boy, dies from wounds he suffered when a sophomore opened fire at a Michigan high school a day earlier, say authorities.

The other dead include a 16-year-old boy who died in a deputy’s patrol car on the way to a hospital. Seven people were wounded, some critically, including a 14-year-old girl who was placed on a ventilator after surgery.

Investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the shooting yesterday at Oxford High School, located in a community of about 22,000 people roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of Detroit, says Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.

“The person that’s got the most insight and the motive is not talking,” he said at a news conference late last night.
