The Michigan teenager charged with first-degree murder in the deadliest US school shooting of 2021 will assert an insanity defense, his lawyers wrote in a court notice filed Thursday.

Prosecutors say they intend to rebut the defense by Ethan Crumbley, a 15-year-old sophomore at a high school in Oxford, Michigan, who is charged with first-degree murder in the November 30 shooting spree that killed four students.

Crumbley’s lawyers, Paulette Michel Loftin and Amy Hopp notified an Oakland County court that he “intends to assert the defense of insanity at the time of the alleged defense.” Also charged in the killings are his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, who prosecutors say gave him a semi-automatic handgun as an early Christmas present and then ignored signs that he was planning a shooting at the school.

In a new lawsuit filed Thursday in Oakland County, the parents of one of the students killed joined with others whose children had witnessed the shooting in alleging negligence by school officials and Crumbley’s parents.
