The parents of the alleged Michigan school shooter were taken into custody early Saturday morning in Detroit after the pair went missing, police said.
James and Jennifer Crumbley were found on the first floor of an industrial building on Bellevue Street, near where their vehicle was found overnight, Detroit Police spokesperson Rudy Harper told CNN. The Crumbleys were charged Friday with four counts of involuntary manslaughter over the shooting their son, Ethan, is accused of carrying out on Tuesday, when four students were killed and seven others wounded at Oxford High School.
Two attorneys working with the couple had said they left town on the night of the shooting"for their own safety" and were not fleeing.But prosecutors were worried about the couple escaping because they didn't have ties to their community, and officials had trouble locating the Crumbley couple once their son was being arraigned, a law enforcement source told CNN Friday.
