Though school shootings are familiar territory in the U.S., it is uncommon for parents to be charged in such cases.
In a rare move, the parents of the 15-year-old who is suspected of opening fire at Oxford High School in Michigan, killing four, have been charged in what advocates say is a warning for responsible gun ownership and a step toward accountability.four counts of involuntary manslaughter"These charges are intended to hold the individuals who contributed to this tragedy accountable, and send a message that gun owners have a responsibility," McDonald said.
He said the charges are a"good strategic choice only because as recently as 2018, a similar theory of liability was upheld." McDonald said in a press conference Friday that it was purchased effectively for their son, and he was present for the sale. That gun was stored"unlocked in a drawer" at the Crumbley home, she said.
