Ethan Crumbley, the Michigan teenager who murdered at least four students at his high school during a horrific school shooting, was evidently a walking field of red flags. Before the shooting, a teacher had spotted the 15-year-old searching for ammunition on his phone, prompting school officials to warn Crumbley’s mother, Jennifer. After a teacher found a violent drawing by Ethan, his father James and Jennifer were summoned to address their son’s behavior and were instructed to get him counseling.
Now both parents, missing in action since their son’s arrest, have been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, as prosecutors discovered that James purchased the gun in question with Ethan just four days prior and Jennifer had texted him just minutes after the shooting, “Ethan, don’t do it.”
