School shooting

The shooting took place outside of the South Education Center in Richfield, Minnesota.

One of the teachers named in the suit sent Ethan Crumbley to the school's office the day before the shooting, after allegedly seeing him search for ammunition.

Lawyers for Crumbley said the accused school shooter "intends to assert the defense of insanity" in a Wednesday court filing.

Because Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz's Instagram posts were public, a judge ruled the prosecution can use them in his February penalty trial.

New safety protocols implemented ahead of the school's reopening include extra police presence and requiring students to use clear backpacks.

Biden's first year as president saw a 12 percent increase in gun deaths when compared to Trump's first year in office.

Although he is 15-years-old, he is charged and will be tried as an adult. Due to the plea, his case will now go to the Oakland County Circuit Court.

James and Jennifer Crumbley will remain in jail on $500,000 bail after Judge refused to lower it.

"The plea agreement closes this chapter of the tragedy and avoids having to experience the trauma all over again," said Freeman High School officials.

Neither of the two victims, ages 13 and 14, had been involved in the physical altercation that preceded the shooting.

"I'm asking for our federal government at this point in time to intervene," said Vickie Cartwright, interim superintendent in Broward County, Florida.

A school shooting that killed four students in Michigan on November 30 has prompted a spate of copycat threats that have put school officials on edge.

The threats are believed to be part of a TikTok trend that claims there will be a school shooting on December 17.

A $25 million settlement was awarded to 51 people, including the families of the deceased. Andy Borges was awarded $1.25 million for his severe injuries.

Eve Primus, a professor of criminal law at University of Michigan's Law School, said the decision to try Ethan as an adult could have implications on the Crumbley manslaughter charges.

Legal experts explain to Newsweek how the November 30 shooting may change the responsibility parents and schools may face in future incidents.

More than 10,700 people have signed a petition calling on schools to move online until after the winter break.

The charges against Ethan Crumbley's parents "is a major marker that may provide an example to other prosecutors," Michael McAuliffe told Newsweek.

James Crumbley bought the gun Ethan allegedly used in the November 30 shooting, but his wife is also facing charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Crumbley will appear before a judge at 1:15 p.m. in Michigan. He faces 24 charges, including four counts of first-degree murder.

Fieger has represented families in cases involving the Columbine school shooting and the Flint, Michigan, water crisis.

Police in Florida said they arrested a 19-year-old for allegedly "plotting to shoot up the campus on the final day at the school before winter break."

An attorney for survivors of the recent shooting said school administrators and teachers violated students' civil rights by not protecting them.

The district chose to have a third party investigate the events leading up to the November 30 shooting at the high school in which four students were killed.

"As a female and a Realtor, thank you for allowing my right to bear arms," Jennifer Crumbley allegedly wrote in a blog post addressed to Donald Trump.

He told the couple to lock up as he left in the evening, his lawyer says. Police escorted them out at about 2 a.m.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel recently said that "anything is possible" when asked about potential charges for school officials at Oxford High School.

"In this case a lot could have been done different," Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said.

Oakland County resident Andrzej Sikora is linked to the studio where the parents of the 15-year-old accused Michigan school shooter were discovered following a lengthy manhunt.

"I want universal background checks...but I will settle for something much less because that will save lives," Senator Chris Murphy said.
