Ethan Crumbley Biography

Ethan Crumbley, the teenager accused of killing four students and injuring more at Oxford High School, is expected to plead guilty next week, authorities said Friday.

Crumbley, 16, had drawn images of violence for a class assignment last November, but he was not sent home, authorities said. He then pulled a gun out of his backpack and started shooting.

Shooting

He has been in the Oakland County Jail since the Nov. 30, 2021 shooting and is due in court Monday.

“We can confirm that the shooter is expected to plead guilty to all 24 counts, including terrorism, and the prosecutor has notified the victims,” said David Williams, chief deputy prosecutor for Oakland County.

Crumbley’s parents were called to the school the day of the shooting to discuss his son’s sinister writing. A teacher had found a drawing with a gun pointed at the words: “Thoughts won’t stop. Help me.”

Investigation

James and Jennifer Crumbley said they would look for him but refused to take Ethan home, according to investigators.

Authorities allege that James and Jennifer’s failure to address red flags is partially to blame for the shooting. They are also accused of buying his son, who was 15 at the time, the gun he used.

Crumbley’s parents face charges of involuntary manslaughter.
