Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard was part of the investigation into the tragic Oxford High School shooting and has shared his insights regarding the case. The parents of the accused shooter, Ethan, are now facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter, with prosecutors alleging that they allowed him access to the gun used in the incident while ignoring warning signs.
Sheriff Bouchard believes there is significant evidence connecting the parents to the tragic events that unfolded at the high school. During the shooting, one of the parents actually dialed the central dispatch center to report that they believed their own child was the shooter. It is apparent to investigators that the parents were aware of their child's potential for violence, as evidenced by this call. Furthermore, in the days leading up to the shooting, they had received information about concerning incidents at the school but failed to take appropriate action.
