'PLANNED' ATTACK

Oxford High School ‘shooter’ Ethan Crumbley ‘was looking forward to Michigan shooting in premeditated attack’ cops claim

ACCUSED Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley was “looking forward to” the “premeditated” attack, police said on Saturday.

Ethan’s parents, Jennifer and James Crumbley, were each charges with involuntary manslaughter as they made their first court appearance in connection with the school shooting.

In a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Sheriff Michael Bouchard of Oakland County, Michigan, said: “We have clear evidence it was premeditated and he (Ethan Crumbley) was actually looking forward to it.”

All three Crumbleys are being held at the Oakland County Jail, Bouchard said.

They are being checked on “multiple times an hour,” Bouchard said, adding that they are in isolation and do not have contact with one another.

Jennifer and James Crumbley were found in Detroit early on Saturday morning after allegedly hiding from authorities.

A person of interest reportedly helped the Crumbley parents hide and could face possible aiding and abetting or obstruction of justice charges, CNN reports.

“Where they were and how they were seems to support the position they were hiding and they weren’t looking for surrendering at that point,” Bouchard said.

Ethan Crumbley is being charged as an adult with four counts of first-degree murder, one count of terrorism, and could face additional charges in the shooting that killed Hana St Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Tate Myre, 16, and Justin Shilling, 17.

The shooting occurred after Ethan allegedly received a gun from his father as an early Christmas gift on Black Friday, according to reports.

Ethan flaunted the gift on his Instagram account, calling it his “new beauty.”

This is allegedly the same gun used in the attack.

Providing an update on the injured victims in the attack, Bouchard said: “Most are improving pretty well.”
