Michigan’s Oxford High School Shooting Survivors Sue For $100 Million

Two lawsuits have been filed by the survivors of Michigan’s Oxford High School shooting that seek $100 million each after four students were killed and at least seven others injured by a fellow student.

A lawyer announced the filing of the two lawsuits in Detroit, Michigan, on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.

Detroit’s WXYZ-TV also reported Thursday morning:

The lawsuits have been filed by Attorney Geoffrey Fieger on behalf of a student who was shot in the neck and her sister, who was with her when she was shot.

On top of the district, those in the lawsuit include the district superintendent, the Oxford High School principal, dean of students, two counselors, two teachers and a staff member.

A press conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday.

The lawsuit follows a string of developments since the tragic shooting on November 30. The 15-year-old student was charged with counts of murder and terrorism following the incident after surrendering to law enforcement.

Last week, the parents of the alleged shooter were arrested following an active search. The couple was arraigned on Saturday. All three family members were placed in the same correctional facility, but have been separated and have no contact with one another.

The parents each face four criminal charges for involuntary manslaughter after reports that their son allegedly used a handgun purchased by the father as a gift for his son on Black Friday.

Monday, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald revealed new information during an interview on NBC’s “Today” during which she was asked if it was possible that school officials could face charges related to the tragedy.

“It’s possible,” McDonald responded, offering no further comment.

The Daily Wire previously reported that the alleged student also likely had the handgun in his backpack during a meeting with teachers and parents just hours before using it in the shooting spree:

McDonald told CNN on Thursday that there was a “very strong possibility” the suspect was already carrying the weapon during a meeting with his parents and school officials earlier in the day before the shooting.

“I think that it’s already been public that he did have the weapon. During COVID, they don’t use lockers, so they just have backpacks,” McDonald said.

“And unfortunately, he was allowed to get back to class. And we now know he had a weapon with him at that time. And that is simply tragic,” she added.

Oxford Community Schools Superintendent Tim Throne also addressed the shooting during a video to the community on Thursday.

“I want you to know that there has been a lot of talk about the student who was apprehended,” Throne said.

“That he was called up to the office, and all that kind of stuff. No discipline was warranted. There are no discipline records at the high school,” he added.

Throne did confirm that the student had “contact” with the front office and that the student’s parents were on campus on Tuesday morning before the shooting.

“Yes, this student did have contact with our front office, and yes, his parents were on campus November 30th,” he said.

“This is as much information as we can give you now,” he added.

Three students were reported dead on Tuesday. A fourth victim died on Wednesday, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.
