"Oxford School Shooter's Mother's Actions Questioned During Trial"

A school official testified that he felt he had no grounds to search a teen's backpack before the boy fatally shot four fellow students, despite a meeting with the teen's parents about a violent drawing he had scrawled. The official expressed concern about the teen's mental health but did not consider him a threat. The parents declined to take their son home after the meeting, and the teen later carried out the shooting. The defendant, Jennifer Crumbley, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, with prosecutors alleging gross negligence in tending to their son's mental health and making a gun accessible at home. The trial also revealed that the parents did not disclose crucial information about the teen's access to a gun and previous hallucinations.
