PONTIAC, Mich. — A stoic Ethan Crumbley admitted to an Oakland County judge Monday that he went on a shooting rampage in Oxford High School last year that left four of his classmates dead and seven others wounded, prompting emotional responses from victims' families in the courtroom.
Before Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Kwame Rowe, Crumbley’s attorneys Monday entered the guilty plea to 24 criminal charges including terrorism causing death and first-degree murder, which carry up to life in prison. The 16-year-old was charged as an adult and required to admit that he intentionally tried to shoot and kill Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, Hana St. Juliana and Justin Shilling as well as the six other students and one teacher.
Nicole Beausoliel, whose daughter, Madisyn Baldwin, was fatally shot, began shaking and choking back sobs at the mention of her daughter’s name. She was consoled and hugged by two women.
