The parents of the 15-year-old boy who opened fire on Tuesday at his high school in the northern United States, leaving four dead, they were charged this Friday involuntary manslaughter.
Ethan Crumbley’s parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, They were each charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, announced at a press conference Karen McDonald, a prosecutor for Oakland County, Michigan. “These charges are intended to hold accountable the people who contributed to this tragedy and also to send the message that gun owners have a responsibility, “McDonald said.
James Crumbley had bought the semi-automatic pistol his son used, a nine-millimeter Sig Sauer, four days before the tragedy, on the Black Friday after Thanksgiving when American stores offer deep discounts to open the holiday shopping season. Four students from Oxford High School were killed in the shooting and six others were injured along with a teacher.
The attack took place on November 30 in the small town of Oxford, about 40 miles north of the metropolis of Detroit, shortly before 1:00 p.m. local time. The shooter was arrested at the scene. He was charged with “murders” and “terrorist act” and faces a life sentence because he is being processed as if he were of legal age.
It was “absolutely ruthless”
The 15-year-old was “absolutely ruthless” and displayed “chilling” determination, police said of the umpteenth firearms tragedy in the United States. “He shot people at point-blank range, often targeting the head or chest,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
The young man, arrested on the spot and identified as Ethan Crumbley, could spend the rest of his days in prison, since he will be processed as if he were of legal age, announced local prosecutor Karen McDonald.
