Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley sentenced to life without parole

The teenager who committed a deadly shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan in November 2021 was sentenced to life without parole in court on Friday.

Ethan Crumbley, who opened fire at the school more than two years ago, killing four students and injuring seven others, was sentenced after pleading guilty to various charges, including one count of terrorism causing death and four counts of first-degree murder, last year.

“I am a really bad person. I have done terrible things that no one should ever do,” Crumbley said at his sentencing hearing on Friday.

Crumbley also said he would “plan to be better” and that he wanted the victims to feel justice had been served, so he would seek whatever sentence the victims wanted.

“I really am sorry for what I’ve done, for what I’ve taken from them. I cannot give it back, but I can try my best in the future to help other people, and that is what I’ll do,” he said.

Life without parole is the strictest punishment available in Michigan, and that penalty was handed down to the 17-year-old by Judge Kwame Rowe on Friday afternoon.

“I know that whatever sentence the court imposes will not bring your loved ones back or cure the mental anguish or the lifelong physical scars that some of you have, but I hope the sentence does allow you to close one chapter in your life,” Rowe said before sentencing Crumbley to life in prison.

The hearing at Oakland County Circuit Court in the Great Lake State on Friday featured testimony from several of the students and families of the victims of the shooting.

Several students who were at Oxford High School as the shooting unfolded on Nov. 30, 2021, described the lasting horror they suffer more than two years after the deadly incident.

“I was only 14. I’m now sentenced to a lifetime of PTSD. I’ve spent hundreds of hours in therapy offices,” one student testified at the hearing, per CNN.

The four students who were killed by the gunman in November 2021 were Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Hana St. Juliana, 14, Tate Myre, 16, and Justin Shilling, 17.
