A lawsuit regarding the November school shooting in Oxford, Michigan, claims certain staff members as well as the parents of the alleged shooter were negligent in their handling of the suspect
The plaintiffs -- three students, their families and the estate of Tate Myre, who died from his injuries from the shooting at Oxford High School -- allege extreme emotional distress, the lawsuit says. The three students who survived witnessed the deaths of their friends and classmates, including one student whose friend was shot and killed while they were hiding in a bathroom stall, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday.
His defense attorneys filed a notice on Thursday saying that they plan to"assert the defense of insanity at the time of the alleged offense."Crumbley's parents were arrested days after the shooting and charged with four counts each of involuntary manslaughter, as prosecutors accused them of disregarding signs their son was a threat and giving him easy access to the gun. They have pleaded not guilty.
