The parents of two Oxford High School students have launched a $100M lawsuit against school officials, claiming the fatal school shooting was “entirely preventable” and that officials “created and increased the dangers then-existing at Oxford High School.”
Jeffrey and Brandi Franz, the parents of two teen daughters who attended the Michigan high school where the four students died, have filed suit this week in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of their daughters.
The suit names the Oxford Community School district, Superintendent Timothy Throne, Oxford High Principal Steven Wolf and Dean of Students Ryan Moore, two school counselors, two teachers, and a staff member as defendants.
The Franzes allege Throne and Wolf ignored threatening messages posted to social media by the 15-year-old suspect after two teachers reported concerning behavior from alleged shooter Ethan Crumbley, including one incident just hours before the deadly shooting.
The Franzes’ suit also alleges that the school officials did not report Crumbley’s behavior to the school safety liaison officer and that Wolf, Moore, both school counselors, one teacher, and a staff member excluded the school safety liaison from meetings with Crumbley and his parents.
