US-JUSTICE-SHOOTING-MICHIGAN

Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of accused Oxford High School gunman Ethan Crumbley, talks to attorney Shannon Smith in the courtroom of Oakland County Court in Pontiac, Michigan, as the jury deliberates in her trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter on February 5, 2024. A US jury began deliberations on Monday in the high-profile case of a Michigan mother charged with involuntary manslaughter over a school shooting carried out by her teenage son. Jennifer Crumbley, 45, and her husband, James, 47, are the first parents of a school shooter to face felony charges in the United States for the actions of their child, according to prosecutors. Ethan Crumbley, 17, their son, is serving a life sentence for the November 30, 2021 shooting at Oxford High School which left four students between the ages of 14 and 17 dead.
