Authorities said on Dec. 1 that Ethan Crumbley, a 15-year-old boy, was charged with murder and terrorism for shooting and killing four classmates and injuring others at Oxford High School, Michigan. The latest investigation also found that the boy's parents were called to school hours before the bloodshed.

The Associated Press reported that a shooting occurred at Oxford Middle School, about 50 kilometers north of Detroit, on Nov. 30. A day later, Oakland County still did not disclose Cramley's motives. But prosecutor Karen McDonald said the shooting was premeditated based on a "mountain of digital evidence" collected by police.

"It's not just an act of impulsivity." Macdonald said. In fact, Sheriff Lt. Tim Willis told the judge that Cramley had recorded a video the night before the violence. In the video, he mentions the killing of his classmates.

Cramley, as an adult, has been charged with murder, attempted murder, terrorist death and gun crime. During the arraignment, when asked if he understood the allegations, he replied: "Yes, I know. But defense attorney Scott Kozak pleaded not guilty. Assistant prosecutor Marc Keast said: "He deliberately carried a pistol that day and wanted to murder as many students as possible. ”

Earlier, Sheriff Mike Bouchard had told reporters that Cramley's parents had been called to school on Nov. 30 for "worrying behavior in the classroom." At the same time, Cramley remained at the school, and a few hours later the shooting occurred.

Kister said in court that Crumley went into a bathroom with a backpack and then came out with a semi-automatic pistol and shot at his classmates in the hallway. The four students killed were identified as Tate Myre, 16, Hana St. Juliana, 14, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17.

Sheriff Butchard said: "No matter what Cramley will face, he cannot carry out aimless, absolutely brutal violent attacks on other children." ”

Minutes after the shooting, Cramley was arrested in the hallway at lunchtime. Police said his father bought a 9mm Sig Sauer gun last week.

Prosecutor McDonald said they were considering bringing charges against Cramley's parents. "Having a gun means being safe, locking it up and keeping the ammunition separate."

She also said the shooting was a wake-up call and that a new gun law should be introduced as soon as possible. Speaking about the allegations of terrorism, Macdonald said: "What about the children who are running, screaming, hiding under the table? ...... They are also victims, as are their families and communities. ”

Isabel Flores, a 15-year-old 9th grader, said she and other students heard gunshots and saw another student with his face covered in blood. (End)
