An investigation has found that officials at Oxford High School in Michigan failed to conduct a threat assessment of the student later responsible for a fatal shooting.
Officials with Michigan’s Oxford High School should have conducted a threat assessment into Ethan Crumbley's behavior prior to a shooting that left four students dead and others wounded, an independent investigation concluded. Crumbley's conduct included viewing bullets, watching violent video on his cellphone during class, and writing statements like 'blood everywhere,' a more than 500-page report said.
The teen and his parents met with school staff the day of the shooting after a teacher noticed violent drawings. But no one checked his backpack and he was allowed to stay. The gun used in the shooting was in the backpack. The shooter also kept a journal and wrote about his desire to watch students suffer and the likelihood that he would spend his life in prison. He made a video with his phone on the eve of shooting, declaring what he would do the next day.
Our review confirmed that there were breakdowns in implementation and execution of the district’s threat assessment and suicide intervention policies and guidelines,' the report said. 'Missteps at each level throughout the district — from the board, to the superintendent, to the OHS administration, to staff — snowballed to create a situation where a student’s communications and conduct should have triggered a threat assessment and suicide intervention on Nov. 30, but did not.
