DETROIT — The Oxford Community School District could be hit with civil liability lawsuits in the coming weeks and months as more questions swirl around the action officials took — and perhaps failed to take — before a deadly shooting on Nov. 30, experts say. 

Karen McDonald, Oakland County prosecutor, has not said whether school officials could face criminal charges, citing an ongoing investigation. But experts say likely civil suits would follow in the footsteps of earlier legal battles fought against schools after mass shootings.
