Parents of Michigan school shooter arrested

The parents of a teenager accused of killing four people in a school shooting have been arrested after they went missing.

In a highly unusual move, James and Jennifer Crumbley were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with their son's killing spree.

The pair are accused of buying Ethan, 15, a handgun used in the shootings and of ignoring warning signs that he was considering killing his classmates.

People have been saying "enough is enough" for decades now, and yet nothing happens. Words are cheap America.

In USA it is completely fine to buy a gun for a 15 years old as Christmas present, but it is illegal to buy a cigarette for a 20 years old. Smart!!!

Glad to see the parents being held accountable. Their son is a product of his upbringing and a reflection of his parents' attitudes. I hope this catches on.

If American doesn't restrict gun like most countries do, there will be only more and more tragedy.

I'm sure screaming at a crowd will calm them down...

The author Stephen King wrote a brilliant essay called on America's problem with gun violence and gun control called 'Guns' which pays particular attention to school shootings and the psychology of the perpetrators.
Well worth a read.

Flight risks, keep them locked up. The mom thinks its ok to avoid being caught and being held accountable after all. As reflected in her texts. Don't ever let her out of jail.

as long as the NRA exists forget about gun reform

Is this not terrorism. Oh wait that is reserved for one set of people, my bad.

Dear America, Please please change your constitution and see that it was a BIG mistake to uphold the right to bear arms. Xx
