Oxford High School Shooter Sentenced to a Life Behind Bars
----------------------------------------------------------

A judge in Michigan has sentenced the Oxford High School mass shooter to
multiple life sentences without parole. Ethan Crumbley was just 15 when
he opened fire on the school in November 2021, killing four people and
injuring seven others. This is a former student and survivor speaking at
the sentencing hearing.

Riley Franz: "I, Riley Franz, am a survivor of gun violence. I, Riley
Franz, am a survivor of a terrible epidemic caused by a broken system.
But I refuse to be known as a victim at the hands of an individual with
no regard for others. His selfishness will not consume my identity. I am
so much more than a victim."
