First U.S. parent held responsible for child's school shooting

Students protest gun violence in front of City Hall, in Los Angeles

In a landmark case that marks a significant milestone in the United States, Jennifer Crumbly has become the first parent to be held responsible for the crimes committed by their child in a school shooting. On Tuesday, Crumbly was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, more than two years after her son carried out a tragic attack that claimed the lives of four students at a high school in Oxford, Michigan.

Crumbly's son, who was just 15 years old at the time of the incident, is already serving a life sentence for the murder of Hannah St. Juliana, Justin Schilling, Madison Baldwin, and Tate Meir. He also injured seven others during the attack, leaving an indelible scar on the tight-knit community.
