Jennifer Crumbley, whose son killed four students at a Michigan high school mass shooting in 2021, has been found guilty of manslaughter, HuffPost reported.
Crumbley, 45, was initially charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter after she and her husband gave their son, Ethan Crumbley, the gun he used to carry out the deadly shooting despite the fact that he had serious behavioral issues.
According to HuffPost, the verdict signifies possibly the first time a parent has been held responsible for a school shooting carried out by a child.
Ethan Crumbley was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole last December.

From HuffPost: "Jennifer Crumbley’s defense team largely shifted the blame on her husband, saying he was the parent with firearm knowledge and the one who actually purchased the gun for Ethan. They also argued that the couple truly did not know the extent of their son’s behavioral issues."
