Michigan superintendent calls claims in lawsuit over high school shooting 'irresponsible and false' - CNN

(CNN)The superintendent of the district where four students were shot dead at a Michigan high school posted an open letter countering claims made in a lawsuit accusing the district of not doing enough to prevent the attack.

Oxford Community Schools Superintendent Tim Throne's letter on Tuesday decried what he said were "numerous irresponsible and false allegations and inaccurate claims" made about his district relating to the November 30 shooting.

The letter at that point does not mention the lawsuit, in which the parents of two surviving students accuse the district of not acting against multiple red flags before the shooting.

However, the letter goes on to argue against many claims that the lawsuit makes. Then it says the district will respond to "the inaccurate filing" by Geoffrey Fieger, the attorney who filed the lawsuit.

Ethan Crumbley, 15, is accused of opening fire at Oxford High School with a 9mm handgun on November 30, killing four students and injuring six others and one teacher. The attack, some 40 miles north of downtown Detroit, was the deadliest shooting at a US K-12 campus since 2018.

Crumbley is jailed and charged with one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, and 12 counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf and he is awaiting trial.
