Parents of the Oxford High School shooting victims called on Michigan’s Attorney General again Monday to investigate the attack that happened almost three years ago.
The families are frustrated that a state review of procedures around the Oxford shooting has not taken place, accusing Attorney General Dana Nessel of retracting an offer to investigate over lack of a probable cause.
Steve St. Juliana, the father of Hana St. Juliana, who was one of four students killed in the 2021 shooting, said an investigation would be about more than pressing criminal charges.
"While that is a part of the story, the bigger piece and what we're talking about today is to drive the change to change the future," St. Juliana said at Monday's news conference.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel responded hours later, saying she’s never withdrawn an offer of investigating the attack, but her office can't proceed without cooperation from local officials, which has not been granted.
"These offers were made to the school board and to the criminal investigation and prosecutions being handled by the Oakland County sheriff’s office and prosecutor. Our involvement on both fronts was soundly rejected," Nessel said.
