Parents of Oxford School Shooting Victims File $100M Lawsuits Against Michigan School District
Rebecca Mansour 9 Dec 2021
Two lawsuits seeking $100 million each have been filed against a Michigan school district, its superintendent, and others after four students were fatally shot and others wounded at Oxford High School, a lawyer announced Thursday.
The lawsuits were filed in federal court in Detroit by Jeffrey and Brandi Franz on behalf of their daughters, Riley, a 17-year-old senior who was shot in the neck in the November 30 shooting, and her sister Bella, a 14-year-old ninth grader who was next to her at the time, attorney Geoffrey Fieger said.
Named in the suits are the Oxford Community School District, Superintendent Timothy Throne, Oxford High School principal Steven Wolf, the dean of students, two counselors, two teachers, and a staff member.
Ten students and a teacher were shot at the school in Oxford Township, roughly 30 miles north of Detroit.
Ethan Crumbley, a 15-year-old sophomore at the school, was arrested at the school and has been charged as an adult with murder, terrorism, and other crimes. His parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, later were charged with involuntary manslaughter for giving him access to the weapon, which they purchased for him just four days before the shooting and which the mother described in a social media post as her son’s “new Xmas present.”
Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald also faulted the parents for failing to alert school officials about the gun they had purchased for their son and for resisting their son’s removal from the school on the day of the shooting when school officials called them into a meeting over a disturbing drawing their son had made. The couple was arrested last Saturday following an intense manhunt after they fled law enforcement. Detroit police eventually apprehended the couple in a commercial building in East Detroit, not far from the Canadian border, where they were hiding after withdrawing $4,000 from an ATM earlier that day.
