LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — The Michigan Supreme Court will temporarily halt evaluations of the case brought on by a father of a teen killed in the 2021 Oxford High School shooting due to recent proceedings on a separate, yet similar case involving Michigan State University.

Steve St. Juliana filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Michigan State Police in October 2023, alleging that the police failed to take action during the shooting despite knowing about potential threats through the state’s OK2SAY tip program. St. Juliana’s 14-year-old daughter Hana St. Juliana was shot and killed during the shooting.

According to Michigan Advance, the high court already denied the requests of families involved in the shooting to hear out legal arguments about the failures of the school to protect children during the shooting earlier this year.
