Parents of Michigan School Shooter to Be Tried for Manslaughter

HeadlineMar 24, 2023

A court in Michigan has ordered the parents of the Oxford High School shooter to stand trial for manslaughter. Ethan Crumbley was just 15 years old at the time of the attack last November, which killed four students and injured six other people. On Thursday, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled there was enough evidence to bring Jennifer and James Crumbley to trial after they gave their son easy access to a gun and failed to inform the school, and failed to stop the massacre despite clear warning signs.
