TL;DR Summary

The parents of a boy who carried out a school shooting in Michigan, killing four students, must stand trial for manslaughter, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled. Prosecutors allege that James and Jennifer Crumbley ignored warning signs from their son and provided him with easy access to a gun. The ruling marks a rare case in the US where prosecutors aim to hold parents accountable for their child's role in a mass shooting. Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, has pleaded guilty to terrorism and murder charges and faces up to life in prison without parole.
