ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. — Oakland County prosecutors on Tuesday portrayed horses and marital problems as the focal points of an Oxford couple amid growing concern over their son's lack of relationships and his fascination with firearms and violence ahead of a shooting rampage.
Prosecutors contended James and Jennifer Crumbley failed to properly secure a gun purchased for their 15-year-old son, Ethan, and heed warning signs pointed out by school officials about his mental health a couple of hours before the deadly Nov. 30 shooting.
Jennifer Crumbley confided to coworkers and friends that her son had been lonely and "weird" and was without friends.
