The parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school were charged with involuntary manslaughter
A prosecutor filed involuntary manslaughter charges Friday against the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school, saying they failed to intervene on the day of the tragedy despite being confronted with a drawing and chilling message — “blood everywhere” — that was found at the boy’s desk.
By midafternoon, authorities said they were searching for the couple. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said their attorney, Shannon Smith, had agreed to arrange their arrest if charges were filed but hadn’t been able to reach them.Photo provided by authorities of James Crumbley, father of the teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school.
Parents in the U.S. are rarely charged in school shootings involving their children, even though most minors get guns from a parent or relative’s house, according to experts.Photo provided by authorities of Jennifer Crumbley, mother of the teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school.
On Tuesday, a teacher found a note on Ethan’s desk and took a photo. It was a drawing of a gun pointing at the words, “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me,” McDonald said.Between the gun and the bullet was a person who appeared to have been shot twice and was bleeding. He also wrote, “My life is useless” and “The world is dead,” according to the prosecutor.
“The notion that a parent could read those words and also know that their son had access to a deadly weapon that they gave him is unconscionable — it’s criminal,” the prosecutor said.James Crumbley called 911 to say that a gun was missing from their home and that Ethan might be the shooter. The gun had been kept in an unlocked drawer in the parents’ bedroom, McDonald said.
