Jury Convicts James Crumbley of Involuntary Manslaughter for Son's Mass Shooting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Michigan, a jury found James Crumbley guilty of involuntary
manslaughter for failing to prevent his teenage son from going on a
shooting spree which killed four students at Oxford High School in 2021.
James Crumbley's wife, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted on the same
charges last month after prosecutors successfully argued the couple
ignored obvious warning signs and bought the gun for their son. It's the
first time parents have been directly charged for deaths caused by their
child in a mass shooting. They'll both be sentenced next month.
