Lawsuit states Ethan Crumbley allegedly posted threat to his Twitter account night before shooting
Michigan school shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley made threats on social media days before he fatally shot four students, according to a new lawsuit filed Thursday against the school district on behalf of two survivors.
Plaintiffs Jeffrey Franz and Brandi Franz are suing the Oxford Community School District on behalf of their daughters, who are 12th- and ninth-grade students at Oxford High School — one of whom was shot in the neck and one of whom "narrowly escaped" bullets "discharging toward her." The complaint was filed Thursday in a Michigan district court.
Plaintiffs allege that Principal Steven Wolf and Superintendent Tim Thorne made "the student victims less safe" before Crumbley, 15, brought a weapon to school and opened fire on his classmates…..
…..On or around Nov. 16, parents apparently voiced their concerns to Wolf about Crumbley's threats made on social media.
In a Nov. 16 email to parents, Wolf wrote, "I know I'm being redundant here, but there is absolutely no threat at the HS…large assumptions were made from a few social media posts, then the assumptions evolved into exaggerated rumors," according to the lawsuit.
The complaint also alleges that Thorne "sent correspondence and emails to parents at Oxford High School reassuring them that their children were safe at Oxford High School."
Thorne apparently "warned the students, via loudspeaker, to stop spreading information over social media and to stop relying on information on social media, reiterating that there were no threats that posed any danger to students at Oxford High School."…..

The shooter’s social media posts were sufficiently crazy and threatening to have him adjudicated mentally incompetent, take his guns away, and expel him from school. The principal had been informed of these posts. However, apparently doing the right thing to this pooooooor tortured soul was deemed too cruel …..so the principal just let him murder four innocent children.
