Michigan School Shooter Ethan Crumbley Sentenced to Life Without Parole

Crumbley, who pleaded guilty to 24 charges including first-degree murder and terrorism, will not be eligible for parole. His parents await trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Ethan Crumbley, the teenager who committed the deadliest high school shooting in Michigan history, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the shooting in 2021, pleaded guilty to 24 charges, including first-degree murder and terrorism.
During the sentencing, victims' families and survivors gave emotional accounts of the impact of the shooting on their lives.
Life sentences for teenagers are rare in Michigan, but Judge Kwame Rowe ruled that Crumbley's actions warranted the harshest punishment.
Crumbley's parents, Jennifer and James Crumbley, are also in jail, awaiting trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly neglecting their son's mental health and making a gun accessible to him.
