The parents of the 15-year-old boy who murdered four high school students in the state of Michigan in the United States are charged with manslaughter, in a rare move by law enforcement in similar cases of massacres in educational institutions.

The shooter, Ethan Crumbley, is charged with four counts of murder and felony criminal mischief, and he will stand trial as an adult.



James and Jennifer Crambley, Ethan's parents, were arrested on Friday night in an industrial building in Detroit, about 65 miles from the Oxford shooting scene, near their vehicles. Which happened on Tuesday, "for their safety" and that they will return to the area and turn themselves in to authorities.However



, law enforcement officials told CNN that parents withdrew $ 4,000 from an ATM in the Oxford area on Friday and closed their phones, which increased the mystery surrounding their whereabouts.



Auckland County Attorney Karen McDonald said she is prosecuting both parents for "their contribution to the tragedy" and for "sending a message that gun owners are being held accountable."

The gun used by Ethan for his killing spree had been purchased by his father a few days earlier.



"While the shooter was the one who went into high school and hit the trigger, there were other people who contributed to the events that happened on November 30," she said.

During the hunt for them, the U.S. Marshal Service set a $ 10,000 reward for anyone passing information that would lead to the capture of one of them, and District Sheriff Michael Butchard said the couple "could not escape his part in this tragedy." The dead included four students - ages 14 to 17 - and six other people were injured, including a high school teacher in Oxford, north of Detroit.



According to authorities, four days before the shooting, James Crambley purchased a 9mm semi-automatic pistol. Ethan was with him while he bought it at a local gun shop, and he uploaded a picture of himself and the pistol to his Instagram account, in which he wrote "I got Today my new beauty ”alongside a heart emoji.



According to police, Ethan filmed a video on his cell phone the night before the attack, saying he planned to shoot his high school the next day, but he did not post it online. That same day, a high school teacher noticed that Ethan was searching the Internet for ammunition information during class, and reported it to management. In high school they tried to contact his mother, but she did not respond to voicemails or emails.



The plaintiff said that the mother did send a message about the incident - to her son. "Lol I'm not mad at you. You need to learn how not to get caught," she wrote. According to the plaintiff, the parents were summoned to the school on the day of the shooting after the teacher was worried about a note she found on Ethan's desk. On the note was a drawing of a gun, and it was written on it "Thoughts do not stop, help me" and "there will be blood". In addition, there was a picture of a bullet, a person being shot and the words "my life is useless" and "the world is dead".

The management showed the parents the painting, and they were advised to take their son for treatment within 48 hours, but they objected to taking him home and he returned to class.

Later, he entered a toilet cubicle, came out with a gun, which he hid in a schoolbag, and opened fire.



"The idea that a parent can read these words and also know that their son had access to the deadly weapon they gave him is unacceptable and a criminal thing to me," the prosecutor said.

"I'm angry. I'm angry as a mother. I'm angry as the plaintiff. I'm angry as a person who lives in this county. We need to do better in this country."



Ethan fired at least 30 bullets, and reloaded his gun as his classmates fled for their lives.

McDonald said that when the mother heard about the shooting, she sent a message to her son in which she wrote: "Ethan do not do this."

The father then drove home and called police to report that a gun was missing in his home and that he believed his son might be the shooter.
