"Revelations and Testimonies Unfold in Jennifer Crumbley Trial"

A Michigan school official testified that he felt he had no grounds to search the backpack of Ethan Crumbley, the teen who fatally shot four fellow students, despite concerns about his mental health and a violent drawing found on his math assignment. The official also found it "odd" and "strange" that the teen's parents declined to take him home after a meeting discussing the drawing. Jennifer Crumbley, the teen's mother, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, with prosecutors alleging gross negligence in tending to her son's mental health and making a gun accessible at home. The parents are accused of failing to disclose crucial information about their son, and are the first in the U.S. to be charged in a mass school shooting committed by their child.
