Teachers reported concerns about suspect days before Michigan school shooting
Two teachers at Oxford High School in Oakland County, Mich., reported concerns over Ethan Crumbley’s behavior in the days before the 15-year-old went on a shooting spree, killing four of his classmates and leaving seven others injured, according to the county sheriff.
School authorities also met with his parents the morning of the shooting.
Concerns over Crumbley’s behavior were first reported on Monday after “a teacher in the classroom where he was a student saw and heard something that she felt was concerning,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said on CNN’s “New Day.”
“We had no information from the school, but we have since learned that the school did have contact with the student the day before and the day of the shooting for behavior in the classroom that they felt was concerning,’’ Bouchard said at a Wednesday press conference.
The sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post that the recent meetings were the only behavioral issues in Crumbley’s school record.
“Nothing of concern was noted in his school file prior to the first meeting. There are also no documented cases of bullying of the suspect with the school,” it said.
The Oakland Country Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
