Jennifer and James Crumbley first parents convicted in US mass school shooting over ‘simple actions’ that could have stopped it
The parents of a Michigan school shooter have each been sentenced to between 10 and 15 years in prison for their role in an attack that killed four students in 2021 in a case that has broken new ground as the US seeks to tackle its years-long epidemic of school shootings.
Jennifer and James Crumbley appeared in court Tuesday as the first parents convicted in an American mass school shooting. During their trials prosecutors said “tragically simple actions” by both parents could have stopped the catastrophe.
