The parents of a Michigan school shooter who killed four students are due to be sentenced on Tuesday, marking the end of a landmark criminal case.
James and Jennifer Crumbley were both found guilty of manslaughter charges and each face up to 15 years in prison.
Jurors found that they ignored their son's mental health needs and bought him the gun he used in the 2021 attack.
The first parents of a mass shooter held criminally liable in the US were each convicted in separate trials.
Their son was just 15 years old when he killed fellow students Tate Myre, 16; Hana St Juliana, 14; Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17, with a semi-automatic handgun at Oxford High School. Seven others were also wounded in the shooting.
