What were Crumbley’s social media posts?
Police said on Wednesday, that Crumbley allegedly filmed himself talking about killing students the night before the shooting.
A series of concerning posts by the suspect were posted on Instagram days before the massacre.
One of the captions appears to say: “Just got my new beauty today.”
The picture is referring to a 9MM semi-automatic handgun, the same one allegedly used during the shooting.
While another post read: “See you tomorrow, Oxford” with a mention to death and “the destroyer of worlds.”
Motives for the shooting are unclear, as the suspect is unwilling to speak to authorities, according to investigators.
Where are Crumbley’s parents?
According to The Detroit News, Prosecutor McDonald “revealed Friday that the parents of the suspected Oxford High School shooter were aware their son had access to an unsecured weapon in their home.”
James and Jennifer Crumbley were called to the school hours before the shooting due to a drawing their son had made of a handgun pointing at the words “the thoughts won’t stop, help me.”
Crumbley’s parents have been arrested after being found hiding, unarmed, in the basement of a warehouse in Detroit.
They failed to show up to Court after being charged for involuntary manslaughter on Friday.
McDonald said at a press conference that she “expect parents and everyone to have humanity and to step in and stop a potential tragedy.”
