Michigan teen shooter’s mother asked if he showed teachers ‘pic of new gun’

Jennifer Crumbley's boss testified she asked to not be judged by what my son did' and was more worried about losing job

A day before four students were killed at a Michigan school, the mother of the teenager charged with carrying out the mass shooting sent him a text message asking if he had showed teachers a pic of your new gun", an investigator testified on Tuesday.

The text was one of several between Jennifer and Ethan Crumbley on 29 November after school officials left a voicemail informing her that the 15-year-old was looking up ammunition on his phone.
