The parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley, who killed four students at Oxford High School in 2021, were sentenced Tuesday to 10-15 years in prison each after they gave their son the gun that he used to carry out the shooting.

Oakland County Judge Cheryl Matthews called the sentences “reasonable and proportionate” to the crime.

“These convictions are not about poor parenting. These convictions are about repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train,” she said.
