Oxford High School Shooter Ethan Crumbley Charged As Adult
15-year-old Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley will be charged as an adult.
Crumbley has been charged with one count of terrorism, four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, and 12 counts of possession of a firearm while committing a felony in connection with the school shooting that left four students dead and many other injured.
Ethan Crumbley, only 15, is identified as the accused shooter who killed four classmates at a Michigan high school. He had posted on Instagram just days ago a photo of his father’s gun, pretending it was his. Yet this didn’t raise any red flags? Sirens should have been blaring. pic.twitter.com/ySLdrdgPuq

As reported, Tate Myre, 16, Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Hana St. Juliana, 14, and Justin Shilling, 17, were identified as the victims.
Shocking images shared to Crumbley’s Instagram show him posting about a shooting and even showing off with a gun his father had bought, claiming that it was his.
Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said more charges could be pending.
“There is a mountain of digital evidence,” she said. “We are confident it was premeditated.”
His parents may also be charged. Police said it is not clear what Crumbley’s motive was but they are actively searching his social media after discovering images of him shooting the handgun at a target.
