BELLA FRANZ

A civil lawsuit brought by Geoffrey Fieger against the Oxford Community Schools district and several of its administrators and staff has been amended to include new counts against the defendants.

Two $100 million lawsuits have been filed against the Oxford Community School District and several school employees on behalf of an Oxford High School student who was shot and her sister who witnessed the shooting.

An attorney representing two sisters present for and injured in the Oxford High School shooting believes that school staff and administrators could have prevented the fatal shooting, but failed to do so.

Attorney Geoffrey Fieger has filed two $100 million lawsuits against Oxford High School officials in regards to last week's deadly school shooting.

“Each and every Defendant named herein created and increased the dangers then-existing at Oxford High School.”Among those wounded was Riley Franz, a 17-year-old senior at the high school. The day before the shooting, the first teacher in the suit saw Ethan Crumbley searching on his cellphone for ammunition. The teacher reported this to a counselor but allowed Ethan Crumbley to stay in the classroom. The meeting over, Ethan Crumbley returned to class with his backpack and the gun within it. At 12:52 p.m., authorities were notified of an active shooter at the high school.
