The families are trying to add Potts as a defendant in their lawsuit against the school, alleging the school did not do enough to protect students from the teenager charged with murder and terrorism for allegedly shooting and killing four students and injuring seven more. The lawsuit alleges the school and the suspect\u2019s parents knew or should have known that the suspect posed a violent threat to other students.<\/p>\n<p>On August 3, the families filed an amendment to their original lawsuit, saying their attorney, Ven Johnson, had recently reviewed a video of the school shooting, which showed Potts \u201c\u2019casually\u2019 walking around in the hallway during the active shooting.\u201d The video, which has not been released to the public, allegedly showed Potts seeing student Tate Myre bleeding to death on the floor. She allegedly told investigators that she thought the student had \u201creally good make-up\u201d on and that she had assumed the shooting was an \u201cALICE\u201d drill, which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe video shows Ms. Potts opening the bathroom door but not entering the bathroom where Justin Shilling, Keegan Gregory, and [the suspect] were present,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/22125947-oxford-high-shooting-lawsuit-fourth-amended-complaint-filed\">amended complaint<\/a> alleges. \u201cMs. Potts clearly had an opportunity to intervene and prevent Justin\u2019s death. Ms. Potts informed the investigators that she did not see anything or hear anything which is why she decided not to enter the bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suspect shot Shilling shortly after.<\/p>\n<p>The parents allege that Potts could have saved Shilling\u2019s life if she intervened, since after the suspect exited the bathroom and saw police coming toward him, he put his gun down and surrendered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI kind of feel like this is kind of like a poorly written movie or some kind of candid TV show. And I\u2019m looking for cameras, but I don\u2019t find them,\u201d Craig Shilling, Justin Shilling\u2019s father, told reporters on Wednesday, according to Buzzfeed. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to know that he could still be here if somebody did their job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to The Daily Wire, Oxford High School defended its response to the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hearts continue to be with the students, staff, families and community members whose lives were forever changed by the tragedy on November 30, 2021. On that day, students and staff acted swiftly in accordance with their prior training and several staff members exhibited heroic courage. Review by a security expert confirmed our staff response reduced additional harm and loss of life,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWe are confident the investigation and third-party review of the events of that day will bring all of the facts to light. Safety continues to be our top priority at Oxford Community Schools. We will not be deterred and will continue our commitment of providing a high-quality education for our students in a safe educational environment as we continue to honor Justin, Madisyn, Hana, and Tate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suspected shooter faces 24 charges, including murder and terrorism.
