THE mom of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley has blamed her husband for the killings after he allegedly helped their son buy a gun, prosecutors have said.
Jennifer Crumbley has been pinning the blame on husband James during “jailhouse talks” with other inmates, new court filings allege.
A recent filing showed that Crumbley was overheard blaming her husband for the shooting.
James Crumbley helped his son and the shooter, Ethan Crumbley, buy a gun in 2021. He would use it to fire upon his classmates days later.
That day Ethan posted a photo with the gun on his Instagram captioned “Just got my new beauty today. SIG SAUER 9mm.”
Prosecutors also said Ethan told his father he needed help for mental health issues, but the request was ignored.
James and Jennifer were both charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the shooting.
They both plead not guilty.

On November 30, 2021, Ethan Crumbley walked into Oxford High School and fired at least 30 shots.
He killed four students – 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, as well as Madisyn Baldwin and Justin Shilling, both 17 – and injured six more.
It was the deadliest shooting at a K-12 school since 2018.
The four students who were killed were 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin, 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, and 17-year-old Justin Shilling.
Ethan Crumbley was charged with one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of first-degree murder, and 19 other charges from the shooting.
He pled guilty to all of them.
Crumbley will be officially sentenced on December 8.
His parents will go to court again in 11 weeks.
