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 Pro 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. 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.

Now people are asking, how could this happen?
