News Boys Art and Entertainment LGBT+ RSOL Politics Science, Technology, Health Current events Deaths Ethan Crumbley: Groomed for violence by Staff Writer - , 2021 On November 30, 2021 at Oxford High School in Oxford, Michigan, 15-year-old sophomore Ethan Crumbley is reported to have opened fire with a Sig Sauer 9mm semiautomatic handgun killing four students and injuring seven others, including one teacher. The school's surveillance footage reportedly showed Ethan entering a bathroom with his backpack and then coming out approximately a minute later with a handgun. At 12:50 p.m, he is then said to have started firing at students in the hallway as well as shot his gun into classrooms at students. Ethan was arrested by a deputy assigned as a "school resource officer" and a second officer who had responded to the scene. He allegedly still had seven rounds of ammunition loaded into his gun and two extra 15-round magazines when he was taken into custody. He was unharmed and appears to have given up without a fight. Ethan was arraigned by a magistrate on homicide and attempted homicide charges shortly after he was arrested, to allow for continued custody. On December 1, he was charged with terrorism causing death, as well as: One count of terrorism causing death Four counts of first-degree murder Seven counts of assault with intent to murder 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony He was charged as an adult and ordered to be held without bond at the Oakland County Jail. Ethan had previously lived in Jacksonville, Florida prior to moving to Michigan with his parents James and Jennifer Crumbley and his half-brother Eli Crumbley. Eli (age 18) told the Daily Mail that he had issues with his stepmom that prompted him to abruptly move back to Florida to live with his biological mother last March. There is some indication of childhood neglect. Former neighbors of the Crumbley's have told the press that the parents would often go out drinking leaving Ethan alone, as young as age 6. Both parents have had some minor run ins with the law, including drunk driving and issuing bad cheeks while living in Florida. However to all outward appearance, the Crumbley's seemed like a typical suburban family. Eli described his brother to the press in this way: "The Ethan I knew was just a smart boy who just seemed like an average kid. There was nothing that ever stood out to me. He'd never get suspended from school, or detention". The gun used in the shooting was reportedly purchased by Ethan’s father on Black Friday, Nov. 26 and was intended to be Ethan’s Christmas gift. That same day Ethan posted on now-deleted social media, “Just got my new beauty today. Sig Sauer 9mm. Any questions I will answer”. Ethan's mother Jennifer Crumbley reportedly posted on social media next day after Ethan and her had gone to a shooting range to practice with the weapon, “Mom and son day testing out his new Christmas present.” The gun was reportedly stored in an unlocked drawer in the parents bed room. His half-brother Eli stated that Ethan wasn't ever bullied as a child and the school has no record of the Ethan being bullied. However, there seems to be a different side to Ethan's story. At lease four of his peers at the High School paint a different picture and say, he was being bullied and picked on, see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSSeODF1AcI There are other indicators that something was going on with this boy that those in authority were were not responding to. The Students knew that something bad was coming. A number of Oxford high students chose to stay home the day of the shooting claiming they didn't feel safe going to school.
