The parents of 15-year old suspect in the Michigan school shooting Ethan Crumbley has also been charged.

According to prosecutor Karen McDonald, the parents of Ethan Crumbley purchased the handgun on Black Friday as a Christmas gift for their son.

When parents Jennifer and James Crumbley were called to the school about a disturbing, violent drawing by Ethan, the parents did not inform the school about the new gun purchase.
