Oxford Community Schools decline Michigan AG's offer to launch investigation into shooting

OXFORD, Mich. – Oxford Community Schools have declined Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s offer to conduct a third-party review of the shooting that left four students dead and injured four other people.

Nessel has made it clear that her team was ready and willing to step in and conduct a full comprehensive investigation of the events leading up to the shooting.

Part of the investigation would be into if any policies or protocol were not followed and would go further than the investigation conducted by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

Despite the district declining her officer to investigate, her team will work to ensure that students in Oxford and across the state “receive the protection they deserve and that guns are kept out of our schools.”

“I am extremely disappointed that the school district chose to decline my offer to devote the full resources of the Department of Attorney General to review the events leading up to and on Nov. 30. This tragedy demands a united effort from all of us who serve the Oxford community.”

Their failings are painfully obvious. That train left the station on the day of the shoting.

That's such a Republican thing to do, i.e. create more distrust in government and insure you're able to cover up anything negative that might expose Republicans at fault.

The school dropped the ball and the parents are a horror show. But they had the kid there and then they released him with a gun? I don't think an investigation is a bad idea at all.
