Ethan Crumbley is an American mass shooter who, on November 30, 2021, perpetrated a shooting at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan, killing four people and injuring seven. He is currently in police custody.

Background

Crumbley and his parents met with school personnel three hours before the shooting regarding his "behavior in the classroom".

Surveillance footage reportedly showed him entering a bathroom with a backpack and then exiting it about a minute later without the backpack but with the handgun. Immediately afterwards, prosecutors said Crumbley started firing at students; when they started fleeing, he "methodically and deliberately" walked down the hallway and aimed his gun into classrooms and at students who were unable to escape.

According to students, a voice over the intercom alerted them to an active shooter, and their teachers started locking and barricading doors and covering windows, convincing them it was not a drill. Others recounted hearing some loud banging noises, before realizing the noises were gunshots and quickly locking the door.

At 12:51 p.m., police began receiving the first of around one hundred 9-1-1 calls about the shooting and responded to the school. Crumbley was arrested unharmed by a deputy assigned as a school resource officer and a second deputy who responded to the scene. He allegedly still had seven rounds of ammunition loaded into his gun, a total of 18 rounds left, and two 15-round magazines when he was stopped by authorities.

Crumbley was arraigned by a magistrate on homicide and attempted homicide charges shortly after he was arrested, to allow for continued custody, but he was not immediately charged as an adult. On December 1, he was charged with terrorism causing death, first-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, with the possibility of more charges being added as the investigation continues.

According to the Associated Press, this appeared to be the first time in U.S. history where a terrorism charge was filed in relation to a gunfire incident on school grounds. Crumbley was charged as an adult, and a judge entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf. He was ordered to be held without bond and relocated to the Oakland County Jail.

After announcing the charges against Crumbley, prosecutor Karen McDonald told reporters that her office was also considering criminal charges against Crumbley's parents in connection to the shooting. McDonald said responsible gun ownership was crucial to stop tragedies and those who are not responsible should be held accountable.

A search warrant was also executed at Crumbley's home, where a cell phone, a journal, and other items were seized as part of the investigation around the shooting and Crumbley's prior social media posts. The cell phone contained two videos of Crumbley, both of which were filmed the night before the shooting, and in which he purportedly talked about shooting and killing students at the school the next day. The journal also reportedly detailed "his desire to shoot up the school".
