(CBS DETROIT) - The parents of the teen who shot and killed four people and injured seven others at Oxford High School in November 2021 have been dropped from a civil suit brought by the victims and their families. 

Ven Johnson, whose law firm brought the case against James and Jennifer Crumbley and Oxford Community Schools says this allows for a quicker appeal against a decision made earlier this year which ruled Oxford Community Schools and employees are protected by governmental immunity. 

Johnson joined CBS News Detroit Thursday to explain the decision.
