Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of a school shooter who killed four students at a school in the US, has been convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Her son Ethan opened fire at Oxford High School in Michigan, killing four students and injuring seven others. Prosecutors argued that Jennifer Crumbley was grossly negligent and could have prevented the violence. She was also accused of failing to secure the gun and ammunition at her home and not getting help for her son\'s mental health issues. The case is seen as a landmark example of holding parents accountable for their children\'s actions.
