DETROIT — A proposal to distribute $1.7 million in donations to the victims of the Oxford High School mass shooting would limit payments for psychological trauma to students who were in or near a hallway, restroom and one classroom where the shootings occurred.
The plan — obtained by The Detroit News from the National Compassion Fund, which is managing money donated to the Oxford Community Memorial and Victims Fund — is not final and is subject to public feedback at a March 21 town hall at the high school.
The proposal would potentially exclude hundreds of students, staff and others who fled the building the day of the Nov. 30 shooting in which four students were killed and seven others, including a teacher, wounded.
