Government Immunity Blamed as Final Michigan School Shooting Lawsuits Fizzle

  • The Michigan Supreme Court dismissed appeals on May 28, 2025, by families of Oxford High School shooting victims from the 2021 tragedy in Oxford, Michigan.
  • The appeals failed because Michigan law grants broad governmental immunity that protects public school employees from civil liability unless gross negligence is proven.
  • The shooter, 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, killed four students and wounded seven after staff ignored warning signs and did not search his backpack on November 30, 2021.
  • Victims’ families and attorneys called the ruling "horrible" and criticized immunity laws, while the school district reaffirmed its commitment to safety amid renewed community emotions.
  • The decision ends legal efforts to hold school officials accountable, pushing families to seek legislative changes to governmental immunity and school safety policies.
