SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP) — Two lawsuits seeking $100 million each have been filed against a Michigan school district, its superintendent and others after four students were fatally shot and others wounded at Oxford High School. Attorney Geoffrey Fieger says the lawsuits were filed in Detroit federal court and a county court by Jeffrey and Brandi Franz on behalf of their daughters, Riley, a 17-year-old senior who is recovering after being shot in the neck Nov. 30, and her sister Bella, a ninth grader who was next to her. Named in the suits are the Oxford school district, Superintendent Tim Throne, Oxford High’s principal and others. The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment from the district. Ethan Crumbley, 15, was arrested and is charged as an adult with murder, terrorism and other crimes.
