An Oakland County Circuit Court judge has dismissed all Oxford governmental employees and entities from a civil lawsuit related to the shooting at Oxford High School.

In her ruling, Judge Mary Ellen Brennan granted government immunity, stating that the shooter, Ethan Crumbley, was the "most immediate, efficient, and direct cause of the injury or damage" in the November 2021 shooting that killed four students and injured seven others.

Brennan wrote that "because it is undisputed that the school district was a governmental agency engaged in the exercise or discharge of a governmental function at all relevant times and that none of the statutory exceptions has been alleged or is applicable ... the school district is immune from tort liability."
