A new lawsuit has been filed Oxford High School shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley and his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, on behalf of four victims' families.
"Today's the 58th morning we've woken up without Tater. Tomorrow with be the 59th. … The rest of our lives," Tate Myre's father, William Myre, said during a Thursday press conference. "We're sad. We're hurt. … Our lives are forever changed. Our family will never be the same."
Myre described his son as "selfless" and "wise beyond his years." He added that it was a "tough decision" to file the lawsuit, and that not doing so would be a "dishonor" to Tate.
The lawsuit accuses James and Jennifer Crumbley of intentional, reckless and negligent conduct for "acting in concert" with their son, saying they are "liable" for his "violent assaults." It also accuses school staff members, including several teachers and a counselor, of gross negligence for "increasing the danger" posed by Ethan Crumbley and making the school environment "less safe after their acts than before."
