“The school district will respond in detail to the false allegations and reckless statements made by Mr. Fieger,” Superintendent Tim Throne said.
In a letter posted Tuesday, Throne addressed several claims that have been made about the shooting, including what the district knew about suspected shooter, 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, prior to the mass murder."The school district will respond in detail to the false allegations and reckless statements made by Mr. Fieger," Throne wrote.
Prosecutors said Crumbley did keep a bird head in a jar in his room, but that jar found at the school was never linked to the teen prior to the shooting.Throne also said that any reports that ammunition was found at Oxford High School prior to the shooting "are completely false." After the shooting, photos of social media posts surfaced. These posts showed Crumbley holding the gun used in the shooting. Throne said the district was not aware of these posts before the shooting.
He added that all OK2SAY tips received between Nov. 1-30 were sent to police and investigated. He said there was a message tip received that a student who no longer attended the school had put the bird head in the bathroom.A meeting was held with Crumbley and his parents the morning of the shooting after a teacher found alarming drawings on a test.
