Father of Michigan school shooter convicted of manslaughter

A Michigan jury convicted the father of a school shooter who murdered four of his high school classmates at his school of manslaughter on Thursday. 

Prosecutors argued that James Crumbley, 47, carried some of the responsibility of his son's fatal actions by ignoring warning signs, according to Reuters.

His wife Jennifer Crumbley, 45, was found guilty of manslaughter last month.

Their son, Ethan Crumbley, was sentenced to life in prison in December after he pleaded guilty in 2022 to two dozen charges, including terrorism and first-degree murder. 

In addition to killing Tate Myre, 16, Hana St. Juliana, 14, Justin Shilling, 17, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Ethan Crumbley also wounded six students and a teacher.
