OXFORD (WWJ) -- Oxford High School officials have declined Attorney General Dana Nessel's offer to lead an independent review into the facts leading up to the mass shooting that left four students dead one week ago today.
"I'm disappointed, quite honestly," said Nessel. "Obviously we hope that the school district cares as much about the safety of their students as they do shielding themselves from civil liability."
The review was going to look at what the school knew prior to the shooting and whether school officials took reasonable action to prevent the violence.
Nessel said on CNN Monday night that her department is still committed to evaluating opportunities to support the ongoing criminal investigation in Oakland County and ensure students in Oxford -- and across Michigan -- receive the protection they deserve.
She said she looks forward to meeting with parents, students and teachers when they are ready to share their thoughts.
