The parents of the alleged Michigan school shooter were taken into custody early Saturday morning in Detroit after the pair went missing, police said.
James and Jennifer Crumbley were found on the first floor of an industrial building near where authorities had located their car shortly before they were apprehended, Detroit Police spokesperson Rudy Harper told CNN. "They appeared to be hiding in the building," Detroit Police Chief James White said during a news conference early Saturday morning. They were"very distressed" after they were detained, the chief said.
Law enforcement were tracking the couple's whereabouts by cell phone pings but that signal had dropped because the couple's cell phones were turned off, the official saidEthan Crumbley has been charged as an adult with terrorism, murder and other counts in the shooting rampage at Oxford, which is located about 40 miles north of Detroit. Seven other people were wounded in the shooting. The shooting was the deadliest at a US K-12 campus since 2018 and the 32nd such attack since August 1.
