Ethan Crumbley apologized before the sentencing for the 2021 high school shooting as parents still in jail on related charges

A judge sentenced a Michigan teenager to life in prison on Friday for killing four students and terrorizing others at Oxford high school in 2021, after listening to hours of gripping anguish from parents and wounded survivors.

Judge Kwame Rowe rejected pleas from defense lawyers for a shorter sentence and ensured that Ethan Crumbley, 17, will not get an opportunity for parole.

Moments before learning his fate, the teen apologized and appeared to agree with his victims that the stiffest punishment was appropriate.

    Sad part is I don’t even remember this particular shooting.

      Same, I had to read up on it again.

      Also, this was the first time parents were charged, as they purchased the gun for him.

      The really sad thing for me is that I honestly didn’t bother looking it up until you said that and I realized that I really should. There have been so, so many.
