Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 when he killed 4 Michigan students, could spend the rest of his life behind bars, judge rules
Ethan Crumbley, the teen gunman who killed four students at Oxford High School, is eligible for life imprisonment without parole the harshest possible punishment in Michigan, a judge ruled Friday.
Crumbley, now 17, was 15 when he opened fire at the school on November 30, 2021. He has pleaded guilty to one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first-degree murder and 19 other charges related to the deadly rampage.
In addition to the four students killed, seven people were shot and wounded including a teacher.
On Friday, Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Kwamé Rowe said Crumbley is eligible for life in prison without the possibility of parole.
