Parents of Oxford High School Shooter Sentenced to Between 10-15 Years in Prison

HeadlineApr 10, 2024

In Michigan, the parents of Ethan Crumbley, who shot dead four classmates at Oxford High School in 2021, have been sentenced to between 10 and 15 years in prison. James and Jennifer Crumbley are the first parents to be held criminally responsible for a mass school shooting committed by their child. During the sentencing hearing, Nicole Beausoleil, the mother of Madisyn Baldwin, who died in the school shooting, addressed the Crumbleys.

Nicole Beausoleil: “You say you wouldn’t do anything different. Well, that really says on what type of parents you are, because there’s a lot of things I would do different. But the one thing I would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day, so she could continue to live the life she deserved.”
