"Oxford Shooter's Mother's Behavior Examined as Trial Continues"

A Michigan school official testified that he felt he had no grounds to search the backpack of the teenager who later fatally shot four fellow students, despite a meeting with the teen’s parents about a violent drawing he had scrawled. The parents declined to take their son home, and a few hours later, he carried out the shooting. Jennifer Crumbley, the mother, 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 official expressed concern about the teen's mental health and found it "odd" that the parents didn't immediately take him home, unaware that the father had recently purchased a gun for him.
