James and Jennifer Crumbley were each charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald announced Friday.The parents charged in connection with this week's deadly shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan are returning to town for their arraignment, their attorney said, after detectives announced they were trying to locate the couple.
The attorney told police"she had made repeated attempts to reach them by phone and text without success," the sheriff's office said. Earlier on Friday, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald at a news conference outlined an alarming and violent note Ethan Crumbley allegedly drew hours before the shooting that prompted his parents to be called to the school. She also stressed the importance of responsible gun ownership.
A teacher saw Ethan Crumbley researching ammunition in class days before the shooting, the prosecutor said. School officials contacted his parents, but they didn't respond, McDonald said. However, according to the prosecutor, Jennifer Crumbley texted her son, writing,"lol, I'm not mad at you, you have to learn not to get caught."
"At the meeting, James and Jennifer Crumbley were shown the drawing and were advised that they were required to get their son into counseling within 48 hours," she said."Both James and Jennifer Crumbley failed to ask their son if he had his gun with him or where his gun was located and failed to inspect his backpack for the presence of the gun, which he had with him."
Authorities determined James Crumbley's semi-automatic handgun was stored unlocked in a drawer in his bedroom, McDonald said.
It is criminal!!!
This kid should be expelled from school and sent to prison along with his parents.
She’s absolutely right. Now let’s charge Rittenhouse’s dumbass “mother” too. These people do not value their own kids’ lives. Lock them up and toss the key!
Looks like Kurstin Duntz huh
Heinzilla The day before he was searching for ammo, he gets the ammo from who? The day of the murders his paperwork was turned in to a teacher. The parents seen it. Help me. He wanted to be stopped. The Mother is the monster who raised a Killer.
Did the parents have the meeting about the note the same day as the shooting?
BAM…
Mama don't play that! 🧐
Yeah lets just ignore the amount of crime by other people who kill each other by the thousands every year and focus on this one incident. I'm sure that'll reduce crime dramatically.
Sounds like certain people are using THIS case to advance their career... 'Nuff said!!!...
I love when she corrects herself and says ‘it IS criminal’. She’s right, it is HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
If you need help paying your credit card bills or know anyone that does Send a dm I’m Victor Van , a Powerball lottery winner and I’m doing this to give back to the society during this holiday season .
It’s unconscionable that the school allowed him to return to school without the therapy that was recommended. It’s unconscionable that further action wasn’t taken to immediately get this kid the help that he needed. We have a mental health problem & it’s not being addressed!
Why are they not being charged with providing material aid in support of terrorism?
Has anyone bothered to ask this kid why he did it? Look at his picture. I'm sure he was being bullied and tormented beyond measure. Where's all the outrage against bullying? School shootings always have a cause ya know....this also needs to be addressed as much as the parents
