Prosecutors said the father of the kid who shot and killed four classmates at a high school outside of Detroit was responsible for the deaths because he and his wife had given their son a pistol and disregarded their son’s warning indications of aggression. The jury in the US state of Michigan found the father guilty of manslaughter, reports RTE.

A month after his wife Jennifer Crumbley was convicted of manslaughter in connection with the shooting, James Crumbley, 47, was found guilty in his trial.

Four charges of involuntary manslaughter were brought against Mr. Crumbley, one for each of the Oxford High School shooting victims in 2021, reports RTE.

On April 9, James and Jennifer Crumbley will both get sentences.

Manslaughter entails a maximum 15-year jail sentence, reports RTE.
