opened fire at the school in Oxford, Michigan in 2021, and murdered Hana St. Juliana, Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, and Justin Shilling
To be fair, he shot ten, four of whom died, in the five minutes he spent hunting for targets in the school before he was stopped. It could have been much, much worse.
- Crumbley and his wife Jennifer are the first parents in the US to be held responsible for a child carrying out a mass shooting at school
According to prosecutors, Crumbley's only friend moved away at the end of October 2021, and the family dog died, causing him to become depressed. As early as March 2021, he started sending his mother "disturbing texts about his state of mind", which included claims about "demons" and "ghosts" inside the home. He also reportedly videotaped himself torturing animals, made Molotov cocktails, and drew a sketch of himself committing a school shooting, which he also joked about with a friend via text message. At one point, Crumbley allegedly kept a baby bird's head in a jar, which he later placed in a school bathroom. His parents allegedly never sought therapy for him after any of those incidents.
