Oakland County’s prosecutor on Thursday said that a decision whether to charge the parents of a teenager accused of killing four students at Oxford High School could come Friday.
“The parents were the only individuals in the position to know the access to weapons,” Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said. The gun “seems to have been just freely available to that individual.”
Ethan Crumbley, 15, is accused of killing fellow students Justin Shilling, 17, Madison Baldwin, 17, Tate Myre, 16 and Hana St. Juliana, 14 during the shooting Tuesday at the high school. Seven others, including a teacher, were wounded in the attack.
Crumbley was arraigned Wednesday afternoon before Judge Nancy Carniak in 52-3 District Court in Rochester on four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, one count of terrorism causing death and 12 counts of possessing a firearm while committing a felony. Bond was denied.
