Teen pleads guilty to Oxford High School shooting, facing Life in Prison

Ethan Crumbley, the teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan school in 2021, has pleaded guilty and is facing life in prison, CNN report.

Crumbley pleaded guilty to the 24 charges against him for fatally shooting four students, and injuring seven others at Oxford High School on November 30, 2021. The 16-year-old shooter entered his guilty plea on Monday at an Oakland County court. The charges against him included one count of terrorism causing death, and four counts of first-degree murder.

He answered “yes” when asked if he killed the victims, who were aged between 14 to 17. Crunbley also confirmed that he took a firearm from an unlocked container in his home, and transported it to school in his backpack. At the time of the shooting, he was 15. Crumbley’shearing is set for February 9, with a sentencing date to follow shortly after.

His parents Jennifer and James Crumbley have been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, after prosecutors highlighted the ease of access to firearms in their home. They have pleaded not guilty, and will go to trial in January.

The firearm Crunbley used in the shooting was purchased by his father just four days before the attack. The weapon was identified as a 9mm semi-automatic handgun, and many of the attacks were made at close range.

A motive has yet to be determined, but the Detroit Free Press previously reported that Crumbley allegedly wrote about President Joe Biden in his journal. “Hopefully my shooting will cause Biden to get impeached,” he wrote in an entry that was disclosed in court.

Text messages sent to a friend, and his internet search history pertaining to school shootings have been admitted as evidence in the case.
