School met with suspect, parents over concerning behavior the morning of Oxford shooting

According to Bouchard, there was also a face-to-face meeting with the suspect's parents the morning of the shooting. He said the suspect was at the school, brought into a meeting, and then the shooting happened.

The meeting was over behavior in the classroom that was concerning, he said.

No motive as of yet. Personally I'd like to know if any psychotropics were used by the kid as that seems to be a fairly common thread amongst these.

How could they all not see this coming? Was it avoidable?

It wouldn't surprise me if there was a shrink involved prior.

The ones we trust the most...

We will find out in a year that he had an FBI handler of some sort per usual, but it will be buried and called a conspiracy theory and nothing will come from it.

Expect that with new first responders.

they let the parents leave without him?

This sounds like another story about a kid with mental issues “on prescription meds” that remains in the school because mommy’s little angel isn’t going to be treated different.

They place a wounded animal inside a pack of other animals trying to fight their way through puberty and hormones.
Something is bound to happen eventually. Suicide or violence.

All because no kid can be excluded.

That was my very first thought when I read about this. Nothing I was reading gave any indication that this was the case, but nothing I read ruled it out either, and I couldn't shake it. Maybe it's my own confirmation bias, but if so, only because that is the FBI's rep and history.

But it's good to know I'm not the only one who went there!

a reply to: Boadiceano one else finds it strange that almost every instance of mass shooting takes place in democratic run areas?

Jason Bourne was a documentary...

Are the parents having remorse for letting doctors give that kid specific "treatment" drugs ? 😈

There certainly are markers and re-occuring scenarios.

Someone dropped the ball, tragically.

Having an armed escort for the safety of the public tells me you should be wearing restraints unless medically required to remove them.

He certainly showed up just in time to take the focus off of Waukesha and its murderous SUV.

Some interesting details from this news story

Following the prosecutor's announcement, the parents stopped contacting their attorney. The lawyer told detectives that she has made repeated attempts to reach her clients via phone and text without success.

"We have our Fugitive Apprehension Team, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service and others actively looking for them and have every expectation we’ll have them in custody soon,” Bouchard said. “The action of fleeing and ignoring their attorney certainly adds weight to the charges. They cannot run from their part in this tragedy.

And a tidbit about the issues that caused the school to contact the parents:

On Tuesday, prior to the shooting, another teacher alerted school officials to a drawing the teacher found on Ethan Crumbley's desk. It contained a drawing of a gun pointing at the words “the thoughts won’t stop, help me," the prosecutor said.

There was also a drawing of a bullet with the words “blood everywhere” written above it and a drawing of a person who appeared to have been shot twice and was bleeding. McDonald said the drawing of the person included a laughing emoji and the phrases “my life is useless” and “the world is dead."

...

During Friday's news conference, she said that a teacher had observed Ethan Crumbley searching ammunition on his cellphone and alerted school officials. The school tried to contact his mother but could not reach her.

McDonald told reporters that Jennifer Crumbley did not contact the school but instead texted her son: "Lol. I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught."

The gun was an early Christmas present from his parents

Been trying to follow all the threads.

Parents are allegedly on the run.

I think we're going to find a long line of culpability.

a reply to: PurpleFox

Close, they will blame young boys and toxic masculinity and to throw more laws up on guns.

As usual.

There's conflicting reports on the parents. In one, they're fugitives and the FBI is hunting them. Lawyer reports they can't contact parents. Then there's one that says the lawyer says they're in hiding because they're afraid and they'll meet law enforcement officials to talk.

(I suspect both are right, with one statement issued a few hours before the other.)

The parents have been charged with involuntary manslaughter , the police say they are on the run but their attorny says they left town for their safety .
