Oxford Schools hires pair of firms to review deadly shooting, represent district
OXFORD, MI -- Less than a week after the Oxford School Board declined an offer from Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office to investigate the deadly school shooting at Oxford High School last year, the board announced it will hire a pair of outside firms to handle the investigation and represent the district. According to WXYZ-Detroit, the board voted Tuesday to hire the Grand Rapids-based Varnum Law Firm to represent the district following a review of the shooting. Last week, the board voted to delay a review of the shooting until all criminal and civil litigation surrounding the shooting was settled. Ethan Crumbley, who was a 15-year-old sophomore at the high school, has been charged with 24 felonies after he allegedly shot several of his classmates and a teacher, resulting in the deaths of four students.

Muscogee return South nearly 200 years after forced removal
Native Americans whose ancestors were forced out of the Southeast almost 200 years ago during a purge that cleared the way for white settlers returned Friday for a two-day festival with a name that sums up its purpose: “We have come back.” A busload of Muscogee (Creek) Nation citizens and others in vans and cars traveled from their homes in Oklahoma and elsewhere for a celebration in the east Alabama city of Oxford, located on what once was part of Arbeka, a Muscogee community dating back 12,000 years. Land that once was a village inhabited by an estimated 3,000 people is now the site of a city park with sports fields and a walking trail, said RaeLynn Butler, who manages the nation's historical and preservation department.
news.yahoo.comUK Shark House owner dismayed at getting protected status
The 25-foot tall (7.6 meter) sculpture of a shark crashing through the roof of Magnus Hanson-Heine’s house in rural Oxford, England, is now a protected landmark — and he’s not happy about it. Hanson-Heine loves the installation, erected by his father and a local sculptor in 1986 as an anti-war, anti-nuke protest that still remains relevant now as bombs fall on Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin rattles his nuclear weapons. Bill Heine installed the shark without the approval of local officials because he didn’t think they should have the right to decide what art people see, and the council spent years trying to remove the sculpture.
