Video shows James Crumbley told police where to find guns after son's school shooting

James Crumbley, the father of a Michigan school shooter is escorted out of court during a break, March 12, 2024 in Pontiac, Mich.In a prosecution that has largely mirrored evidence from his wife's trial, previously unseen video was shown in court Tuesday of James Crumbley telling police where to find guns in their home before authorities executed a search warrant in the hours after Ethan Crumbley, the couple's son, killed four people in a school shooting in Michigan.

In footage, James Crumbley was seen talking to an officer while the search warrant was being served in which he tells officers where to find the guns in the home, telling them the passcode to unlock the gun safe.Prosecutors have sought to point out in trial that the passcode to the gun safe -- the factory preset of 0-0-0 -- was an example of James Crumbley's failure to secure the firearm and limit the shooter's access to it.

During her trial, Jennifer Crumbley had responded to questions from the prosecution regarding the passcode being the default 0-0-0, arguing that securing the gun was James Crumbley's responsibility. Other witnesses who testified on Tuesday included Luke Kirtley, who called 911 to report the location of the Crumbleys leading to their arrest; David Hendrick, the detective sergeant who was in charge of the manhunt for the Crumbley parents; and Detective Adam Stoyek, who testified about searching the Crumbley home after the shooting.
