One student who hid in a bathroom stall recalled hearing the sound of a gun cocking outside the bathroom. Others recounted hearing some loud banging noises, before realizing the noises were gunshots and quickly locking the door. Īccording to students, a voice over the intercom alerted them to an active shooter, and their teachers started locking and barricading doors and covering windows, convincing them it was not a drill. Due to the quick response by students and staff to the gunshots, Crumbley was unable to enter any of the classrooms. When they started fleeing, he "methodically and deliberately" walked down the hallway and shot into classrooms and at students who were unable to escape until he went to another bathroom.
Immediately afterwards, Crumbley started firing in the hallway at students during passing time, when hundreds of students were transitioning from one class to another.
Surveillance footage showed Ethan Crumbley entering a bathroom with a backpack and then exiting it about a minute later without the backpack but with a semiautomatic handgun. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said his office was not aware of any credible threats prior to the shooting. Earlier that month, in response to an act of vandalism that included a severed deer head being thrown off the school roof and into the courtyard, school administrators published a note to parents, saying they had been investigating the rumors but found no threat. Īccording to students and parents, rumors regarding threats of a mass shooting occurring at the school were circulating before the incident occurred, prompting some students to stay home on the day of the shooting. The teachers were also trained to use a barrier at the base of the door called Nightlock, which was installed on every door of the school in 2017 per Michigan law. Oxford High School used the active shooter drill known as ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate), which uses proactive strategies to evade a gunman, such as using noise as a distraction and creating distance. Lawsuits were filed against the school district, Oxford Community Schools, starting on December 9 they allege negligence by school officials towards warning signs exhibited by Crumbley leading up to the shooting. Marshals they were caught and arrested in Detroit on December 4. After failing to appear for their arraignment, the parents were the subjects of a manhunt by the U.S. Crumbley pleaded guilty to all of the charges in October 2022.Ĭrumbley's parents, Jennifer and James Crumbley, were charged on December 3 with involuntary manslaughter for failing to secure the handgun used in the shooting.
