Mass Shootings And Accountability


Listen Later

Are parents criminally responsible if their child commits a mass shooting?

That's the question being debated in Oxford, Michigan, where a trial on parental responsibility after a tragic shooting is underway.

On Nov. 30, 2021, a 15-year-old student opened fire at Oxford High School in Michigan, killing four students and injuring seven others. The gunman received a life sentence last year. Now, his parents, Jennifer and James Crumbley, are facing involuntary manslaughter charges.

We discuss what accountability looks like when shootings involving minors occur.
