Nicholas Ejak and Shawn Hopkins are the first known Oxford high school staffers to be placed on leave in the wake of the shooting. It was not clear if they have been cleared or returned to school.
Ethan Crumbley attends a hearing at Oakland County circuit court in Pontiac, Mich., on Feb. 22, 2022. A judge on Thursday, June 23, 2022 postponed a murder trial until January in the case of the teenager accused of killing four fellow students and injuring others at a Michigan high school.
Ejak and Hopkins are the first known Oxford high school staffers to be placed on leave in the wake of the shooting. It was not clear if they have been cleared or returned to school. Ethan’s parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, had been called to the school the morning of Nov. 30 because of teachers’ concerns about their son’s behavior, including watching violent videos, searching for ammunition on his phone, and scrawling disturbing drawings and words on his math homework.
“This is not a disciplinary meeting. If you want other representation, let me know, but I don’t think it’s necessary,” Pass wrote. Wolfgang Mueller, an attorney who represents the families of two Oxford High victims in separate civil federal lawsuits, said he was unaware of the move by the district to put two officials on leave.
In one lawsuit, the two, along with former superintendent Throne, are accused of creating a dangerous environment, including placing Crumbley back into the school population following a meeting with his parents in a counselor’s office. Early the next morning, an English teacher emailed Hopkins about Crumbley viewing a violent shooting video on his phone during class, and another instructor told Ejak the then-15-year-old “drew extremely disturbing pictures and words on his math assignment,” the lawsuit said.
