were 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin and 17-year-old Justin Shilling., were charged with involuntary manslaughter and pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors accuse the couple of failing to keep the gun used in the shooting secure at home and failing to reasonably care for their son when he showed signs of mental distress.
On the morning of the shooting, Crumbley's parents were summoned to the school and confronted with his drawings, which included a handgun and the words: “The thoughts won’t stop. Help me.” Authorities said the parents refused to take him home after the 13-minute meeting and were told to get him counseling.
“I don’t see any excuse to not take these red flags very seriously,” said Jill Soave, mother of Justin Shilling. “We’re learning all these months later that this could have been avoided. These children should be with us today. There’s no excuse. Anyone with any type of common sense could put the pieces together that something was very wrong.”
“Meanwhile, here we are buying memorial shirts for our murdered kid,” he said, holding up a blue T-shirt. “What’s Oxford Community Schools doing? Nothing. Nothing."
