Counselor recalls morning of Michigan school attack when parents declined to take shooter home

Associated Press  

PONTIAC, Mich. — The parents of a Michigan school shooter declined to take their son home hours before the attack, leaving instead with a list of mental health providers after being presented with his violent drawing and disturbing messages, a counselor testified Monday. “My hope was that they were going to take him,” Shawn Hopkins testified, “either take him to get help or even just, ‘Let’s have a good day. My life is useless.” James Crumbley leaves the courtroom during a break in his trial for involuntary manslaughter in Pontiac, Mich. Hopkins said he arranged for the Crumbleys to come to the school and met with Ethan before they arrived, trying to understand his mindset. Hopkins said James Crumbley never objected when his wife said they couldn’t take Ethan home. And he said no one disclosed that a new gun had been purchased just four days earlier — one described by Ethan on social media as “my beauty.” Hopkins said the father seemed interested in his son’s welfare when they discussed the drawing.
