PONTIAC, April 10, 2024 ~ James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of the Oxford High School shooter, expressed regret and sorrow at their sentencing hearing Tuesday, though families of the victims were firm in their stance on the shooter’s parents.

“The blood of our children is on your hands, too,” said Craig Shilling, the father of Justin Shilling, one of four students killed in the 2021 shooting. During the hearing at Oakland County Circuit Court, the parents received maximum sentences of 10-15 years in prison for their roles in their son’s shooting.
