Crumbley allegedly posted this statement to his Twitter account on the night before the shooting, according to the lawsuit: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. See you tomorrow Oxford.”
Although his account was private at the time, he put the quote in his profile biography, which is available for the public to see.

On or around Nov. 16, parents apparently voiced their concerns to Wolf about Crumbley’s threats made on social media.
In a Nov. 16 email to parents, Wolf wrote, “I know I’m being redundant here, but there is absolutely no threat at the HS…large assumptions were made from a few social media posts, then the assumptions evolved into exaggerated rumors,” according to the lawsuit.
The complaint also alleges that Thorne “sent correspondence and emails to parents at Oxford High School reassuring them that their children were safe at Oxford High School.”

Thorne apparently “warned the students, via loudspeaker, to stop spreading information over social media and to stop relying on information on social media, reiterating that there were no threats that posed any danger to students at Oxford High School.”
The school district did not immediately respond to Fox News.

The Franz family is alleging that the school district and its employees were aware of threats from Crumbley’s social media accounts and that defendants’ subsequent actions “were objectively unreasonable and performed knowingly, deliberately and indifferently to Plaintiffs’ Minors…and in reckless disregard to Plaintiffs’ Minors’ safety.”
The four students who died in the shooting are 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin and 15-year-old Justin Shilling.
