The Crumbleys were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter authorities announced Friday morning. Their 15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley, was charged Wednesday with four counts of first-degree murder and a terrorism-related charge in relation to the shooting, which left four students dead and several others injured.
The Crumbleys were set to be arraigned Friday afternoon but when officers arrived at their home the couple was missing. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office declared the couple fugitives and the US Marshals announced it had joined the search, with the agency's Detroit Fugitive Apprehension working to locate the Crumbleys.
