On Saturday, Tim Throne, who heads the Oxford Community Schools district, detailed in a letter the school's account of several key events leading up to the shooting at the high school by Ethan Crumbley.  

"It's critically important to the victims, our staff and our entire community that a full and transparent accounting be made. To that end, I've asked for a third-party investigation be conducted so we leave no stone unturned, including any and all interaction the student had with staff and students," Throne wrote in the letter addressed to the Oxford community.

In this podcast I critique the events. I am and have been concerned about how many after the fact reports and comments always seem to be made that point to the shooter as a potential problem the victim of bullying or dangerous. In this case the counselor of the school told the parents of Ethan Crumbley to take their child home and they flat out refused. Minutes later the shooting started. He had a gun in his backpack during the meeting.  This boy is only a child and is being charged as an adult.
