Michigan school shooter’s mother found guilty of manslaughter
The mother of Ethan Crumbley, who killed four in a 2021 shooting at a Michigan high school, was found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday, according to CNN.
Jennifer Crumbley has been behind bars since the days after the shooting on Nov. 30, 2021. She pled ‘not guilty’ to involuntary manslaughter.
“The prosecution argued Jennifer Crumbley is responsible for the deaths because she was “grossly negligent” in giving a gun to her son Ethan, who was 15 at the time, and failing to get him proper mental health treatment despite warning signs,” according to CNN.
Her son pled ‘guilty’ and was sentenced to life in prison without parole on charges of terrorism causing death, murder and 19 other charges.
Jennifer Crumbley faces up to 15 years in prison and her sentencing is set for April 9th.
Fort Worth firefighters injured in a crash on their way to a house fire
Four firefighters were injured in a rollover crash Tuesday morning on their way to extinguish a house fire, according to Fox4 DFW.
The highest-ranking crew member and one other passenger are in critical condition. The driver and firefighter seated in the back suffered minor injuries.
A witness, Jesse Taylor, said he heard the crash happen, and the sirens never stopped.
“I saw the fire truck flipped over. That’s when I walked up there, and man, that truck was in shambles,” Taylor said, describing the scene. “I don’t know how it happened if it was turning right. It was just in shambles.”
Taylor also said that several crashes have occurred at this location, and he thinks a stop sign should be added.
According to WFAA, Fort Worth Police Chief Neil Noakes said police haven’t investigated what happened yet and plan to interview the firefighters involved once they have recovered from their injuries.
Catastrophic California weather kills five
At least five people are dead in California after a storm brought torrential rain and hurricane-force wind gusts to the Los Angeles area, according to Fox Weather.
The area received more than seven inches of rainfall in the past two days, half of what the city typically receives annually. This is the third-highest two-day rainfall total on record.
307 landslides have been reported in the last 48 hours, in addition to more than 250 fallen trees and branches and nearly 160 potholes.
The rainfall and landslides caused erosion that created cracks and damage to buildings. Forty five people were evacuated from their apartment building in Santa Barbara County due to the erosion.
Residents have been urged to stay off the roads because of the flooding.
