A fugitive warrant was issued for James and Jennifer Crumbley, who failed to appear for a court arraignment on Friday, and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office posted a Be On the Lookout notice for them on Facebook.

"If they think they're going to get away, they're not," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told CNN.

The U.S. Marshals Service said its fugitive apprehension team from Detroit was working with the sheriff's office on the search. Michigan law prohibits those under age 18 from buying or possessing firearms, except in limited circumstances such as hunting with a license and a supervising adult. Eric Ruben, a law professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, said it would be easier for prosecutors to prevail if they could prove the parents took some direct action that led to the deaths - for example, buying the gun. If they merely failed to act, he said, prosecutors would have to show the parents had some legal duty to the victims.

The morning of the shooting, a teacher discovered a drawing that Ethan Crumbley had made depicting a handgun, a bullet, and a bleeding figure next to the words"Blood everywhere" and"The thoughts won't stop - help me," McDonald said. Ethan Crumbley was returned to class and later walked out of a bathroom with the gun, killing four students and injuring seven other people, authorities said.

The responsibility ends with Bheki Cele, NOT with his subordinate. That is why he is so well paid, and is entrusted with SA's safety.
