Michigan school shooting suspect's parents arrested after 'going on the run' - BBC News

The parents of a teenager suspected of a deadly school shooting have been arrested in a Detroit basement hours after going on the run, police say.

James and Jennifer Crumbley were found hiding in a warehouse after a tip-off from someone who saw their car.

The couple had failed to show up in court on Friday after being charged with involuntary manslaughter. They are accused of ignoring warning signs before their son's alleged rampage.

Only in America a kid can get an actual gun as a present 🤦‍♂️. This is America.

[mrcarterfx]

It blows my mind how you can get in trouble for buying a minor alcohol and cigarettes but it’s perfectly legal to buy a firearm for a 15 year old boy wtf

[CheckDisOutpeeps]

Imagine going to school to learn and you end up losing your life.
Unfathomable

[YOpeluk]

A gun as a black Friday present. Could there be something more American than that?

[whatislifebro]

When you kill someone you take a life. That life is gone forever. Small minded people cannot understand what this is

[CleanSockQ]

If the parents gave their kid a gun and ignored the signs he was about to commit a shooting then they've also killed & injured those kids. They should get the same punishment as the shooter.

Michigan have got it right!! (The parents actions confirm this!)

No gun - no dead children.

15 year old, mentally unstable boy gifted a gun????

The parents facilitated - almost encouraged the vile consequences.

They ARE responsible, even more so than their son.

They "are" adults - he is a minor.

They "go on the run" - leaving their son, to face the consequences - what sort of parents would do that????

Disgusting people!

THEIR responsibility.

[zaynebaziz]

Why would anyone buy their 15 year old kid a gun, sick

[hourbee]

When kids in America day they “survived high school” they mean it literally

[janedoe]

About time parents are held responsible for their MINOR CHILDREN UNDER THEIR CARE.

[GreatBigRanz]

Freedom without responsibility is just another word for Chaos.

After giving a gun as a gift, what were they expecting him to do. They are lucky they weren’t shot while they were sleeping

[technoir]

Why haven't the officials at the school who allowed him to return to class also been arrested and charged?

[richardsmith]

All deserve maximum jail time! A disregard for human life! Four young people will not realize their life’s potential! I grieve with their parents! Justice will be served!

"LOL, I'm not mad at you, just learn not to get caught.."..
Stupid parents

[SAS-uopb]

Normally I wouldn’t blame the Parents but on this 1, it’s a no brainer!

[ChrisMinusHumour]

It seems that in the US, by the age of 15-16, you are beginning to be considered an adult. So you can start driving, you can start using firearms. This is the message to young people. That is what being an adult is. The Dad/Mum didn't get their child a PS5 on black Friday or a TV. A gun is what they chose to give and they are responsible for this also.

[theresamcdonald]

Those parents WERE in the run no matter what their lawyers claim, they could've turned themselves into ANY police station or sheriff's office!!! They chose to keep running instead!!!! If they get out on bond they will have to be looking over their shoulders big The father was actually chuckling during his arraignment this morning!!!! What a

[rodneytapit]

Good to see parents being held to account for their actions and about time too. Come the day all people abusing positions of power are held to account by law.

"it's a highly unusual move"

Should be standard procedure.
