A Michigan jury found James Crumbley was criminally responsible for the four murders his son, who was 15 at the time, committed at Oxford High School in 2021.

James Crumbley, the father of a school shooter, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for his role in the mass shooting at Michigan's Oxford High School in November 2021. The jury convicted him on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter, holding him responsible for failing to foresee his son's troubled state and for providing access to the murder weapon. The prosecution presented evidence of the son's troubling behavior and messages, while the defense portrayed Crumbley as an unaware and caring parent. Crumbley's sentencing is scheduled for next month, and he faces a maximum of 15 years in prison. This case is significant as it marks the first time parents of a mass school shooter have been held criminally responsible.
