Students hug at a memorial at Oxford High School in Oxford, Mich., Dec. 1, 2021.

It’s been almost three years since a mass shooting at Oxford High School left four students dead

The families are frustrated that a state review of procedures around the Oxford shooting has not taken place, accusing Attorney General Dan Nessel of retracting an offer to investigate over lack of probable cause.

Speaking to the media, Nessel says that isn’t that case, adding that her offer to review has always been on the table.

“Now 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 says her office can’t investigate without a referral from local authorities.

She says she’s confused by Oakland County Sherriff Mike Bouchard appearing in support of the Oxford family’s call to action, arguing that she’d need information from him to move forward.
