An appeals court in Michigan determined Thursday that the parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley can be charged with involuntary manslaughter in an unprecedented case of criminal responsibility for the acts of a child.

The court, which unanimously ruled that James and Jennifer Crumbley could face charges, claimed that the shooting was preventable. The shooting wouldn't have happened, it said, if the parents did not buy Ethan Crumbley the gun or took him home on the day of the shooting after the school notified them of his extreme drawings.

The couple is also accused of failing to secure the gun properly and ignoring the mental health of Ethan Crumbley, who killed four students and wounded seven other people at Oxford High School in Oxford, Michigan, in November 2021. Judge Michael Riordan agreed with the court's ruling, arguing that although parents should not face charges for"subpar, odd, or eccentric" parenting, the case with James and Jennifer Crumbley is more serious.
