Conviction of Michigan shooter’s mother shows ‘this has to stop’, say victims’ families

People who lost loved ones say Jennifer Crumbley's involuntary manslaughter conviction means a step towards accountability

The father of one of four victims of Michigan's Oxford high school shooting welcomed Tuesday's conviction of the killer's mother on involuntary manslaughter charges, and said it meant people could no longer look the other way" over their own accountability for loved ones' actions.

Craig Shilling, who lost his 17-year-old son Justin in the November 2021 shooting, spoke to reporters after a jury handed down guilty verdicts on Jennifer Crumbley, 45. Crumbley faces up to 15 years in prison on each count after she failed to inform authorities her son Ethan had access to firearms before opening fire, killing four students and wounding six people, including a teacher.
