Title: Shooting Suspect’s Parents Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter Post by: wvit1001 on 12 03, 21, 02:52:50:PM Prosecutors in Michigan took a rare step on Friday by filing involuntary manslaughter charges against the parents of the 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting four students in the halls of Oxford High School, saying that they had bought the semiautomatic handgun that he used to carry out the deadly rampage as a Christmas gift.
On the morning of the Nov. 30 shooting, the suspect’s parents were urgently called into the high school after one of his teachers found an alarming note he had drawn, scrawled with images of a gun, a person who had been shot, and the words, “Blood everywhere,” and, “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me.” The day before the shooting, a teacher had seen the suspect searching online for ammunition for the gun in class, which led to a meeting with school officials, the prosecutor said. After being informed by the school about their son’s behavior, Jennifer Crumbley texted to her son: “LOL, I’m not mad at you, you just have to learn not to get caught,” Ms. McDonald said. School officials told the parents during the in-person meeting on Tuesday that they were required to seek counseling for their son, Ethan, Ms. McDonald said. The teenager’s parents did not want their son to be removed from school that day, and did not ask him whether he had the gun with him or search the backpack he brought with him to the office, Ms. McDonald said. “James and Jennifer Crumbley left the school without their son,” Ms. McDonald said. “He was returned to the classroom.” Ms. McDonald said the teenager’s parents had been storing the newly purchased 9-millimeter Sig Sauer pistol unlocked in a bedroom drawer. At about 12:50 p.m. that day, law-enforcement authorities said, Ethan Crumbley walked into a bathroom carrying his backpack and emerged armed with the handgun and began to shoot. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/michigan-shooting-suspects-parents-charged-with-involuntary-manslaughter/ar-AARrirG?li=BBnb7Kz Title: Re: Shooting Suspect’s Parents Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter Post by: Truman62 on 12 03, 21, 02:54:27:PM Throw the BOOK at them Dann-O!!!
