Ethan Crumbley, a 15-year-old sophomore at a high school in Oxford, Michigan, about 40 miles north of Detroit, was charged with a slew of criminal counts in Tuesday's shooting spree, Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney Karen McDonald said.
Crumbley, who is being charged as an adult, appeared on Wednesday at an online arraignmentwhere Judge Nancy Carniak ordered him held without bond at the Oakland County Jail. Crumbley opened fire at Oxford High School with a semi-automatic handgun - which his father had purchased four days earlier - after emerging from a restroom shortly before 1 p.m. EST on Tuesday, authorities said.Students pay their respects at a memorial at Oxford High School a day after the year's deadliest U.S. school shooting which killed and injured several people, in Oxford, Michigan, U.S. December 1, 2021.
But he said school officials had contact with Crumbley the day before the shooting and another meeting with him and his parents on the morning of the shooting “for behavior in the classroom that they felt was concerning.”
