James Crumbley, 47, faces four counts of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly ignoring warning signs about his son's mental state and not securing the gun that prosecutors say he bought as a Christmas present for his son, Ethan. The teen used the gun in a 2021 shooting, killing four fellow students near Detroit, Michigan. The teen was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree murder, while his mother, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted of manslaughter — the first time a parent faced such a charge stemming from a U.S. school shooting by a child.
