Two $100 million lawsuits filed in aftermath of Michigan high school shooting

At approximately 1:30 AM. The two suspects were taken into custody At 11 Bellevue in Detroit in a commercial vehicle. They were in an art studio within that building that has multiple kinds of Partitions If you will in that building. Uh they were taken in custody as I said at about 1:30 AM. Our fugitive apprehension team uh took custody and possession of them and they were formally lodged in our jail where they remain at about 0 300 about three o'clock in the morning. So they are in our jail. Um all three of them, the Sun and both parents. They are segregated each individually in isolation. We have uh advanced watch on them. There is no indicator that any of them. We always have every person that comes in an intake evaluated by counselors and classification to determine if there's any threats to themselves or anyone else. There was no indication that any of them were suicidal but out of an abundance of caution are amazing corrections team is doing suicide watches on all three of them. So they are in custody and again in isolation. So uh that's a good step. We believe they were assisted in that location to get there to get in and uh we're gathering that information and we're gonna have the totality of that done fairly soon. Uh and present that to our prosecutor for potential charges for either uh eating and abetting or obstruction of justice

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 Nov. 30, 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.The Associated Press sent an email Thursday seeking comment from the district.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 and arrested.Personal-injury lawyers have expressed doubt that the school district could be successfully sued for letting Crumbley stay in school. That’s because Michigan law sets a high bar to wring liability out of public schools and other arms of government.“You have to show that the administration or faculty members were grossly negligent, meaning they had a reckless disregard for whether an injury was likely to take place,” said attorney A. Vince Colella.The gun used in the shooting was bought days before by James Crumbley and their son had full access to the gun used in the killings, prosecutors said.The morning before the shooting school officials met with Ethan Crumbley and his parents after the school after a teacher found a drawing of a gun, a bullet and a person who appeared to have been shot, along with messages stating “My life is useless” and “The world is dead.”The Crumbleys “flatly refused” to take their son home, Throne has said.

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 and arrested.

Personal-injury lawyers have expressed doubt that the school district could be successfully sued for letting Crumbley stay in school. That’s because Michigan law sets a high bar to wring liability out of public schools and other arms of government.

“You have to show that the administration or faculty members were grossly negligent, meaning they had a reckless disregard for whether an injury was likely to take place,” said attorney A. Vince Colella.

The gun used in the shooting was bought days before by James Crumbley and their son had full access to the gun used in the killings, prosecutors said.

The morning before the shooting school officials met with Ethan Crumbley and his parents after the school after a teacher found a drawing of a gun, a bullet and a person who appeared to have been shot, along with messages stating “My life is useless” and “The world is dead.”

The Crumbleys “flatly refused” to take their son home, Throne has said.
