Michigan school officials had legal grounds to search shooting suspect's backpack and locker but did not, prosecutor says
When asked if school staff members might be prosecuted, McDonald replied to CNN's Brianna Keilar, "We haven't ruled out charging anyone."

"I'm sympathetic to parents, my husband and I have raised five children," McDonald said, adding "I'm certainly not suggesting that parents should be criminally prosecuted for any bad act of a child. But in this case, you can't possibly look at their actions and say that they didn't have reason to believe that there was real concern about a violent act."

"When they were gone, [Ethan Crumbley] would come knock on our door," she said, according to the Detroit Free Press. Crumbley would ask LeMieux to call his parents on his behalf because they didn't leave a phone with him, she said.
The former neighbor said she had worked as a restaurant server with Jennifer in 2012, adding that she considered her a friend and they often spent time together at areas downtown.
However, their friendship faded partially because LeMieux was worried about Ethan, according to the ex-neighbor.
Ex-neighbor says she warned Children's Protective Services about Oxford shooter's parents
Lawyer: Artist didn’t know Michigan parents stayed in studio
The couple went to artist Andrzej Sikora’s studio inside the downtown building Friday morning, but the artist was unaware of the charges against the couple or that they stayed after he left for the day, according to attorney Clarence Dass. He said Sikora had a “friendly relationship”′ with the Crumbleys but declined to give details, citing an active investigation.
Dass said when the artist awoke Saturday and heard news of authorities taking the couple into custody, he voluntarily contacted authorities. Authorities had been looking for the couple since Friday afternoon.
“There was a lot of confusion and the Crumbleys went to him for safety. He didn’t know about the charges,” Dass said. “They were there in the daytime. He left in the early evening. He didn’t even know they were still there.”

1. I don't know if the school admin will face charges, I think it highly unlikely. Given what we have now heard about them opting to keep him at school rather than return a disturbed young man to an empty house on the day of the shooting, I would bank that the civil suits against the district are being drafted as I type.
2. Not surprised that these parents have an alleged history of being self involved at their child's expense.
3. I find this artist to be less than credible.
