Watch livestream: Ethan Crumbley sentencing for 2021 Oxford school shooting
On Friday morning, just over two years after opening fire at Oxford High School in Oxford, Michigan, a sentencing hearing will begin for Ethan Crumbley.
USA TODAY is providing live coverage of the sentencing, which is set to being at 9 a.m. ET. You can watch the video at the embed at the top of the page or on USAT TODAY's YouTube channel.
The sentencing will include impact statements from numerous victims, who will let the court know how Crumbley's actions affected their lives.
Crumbley was 15 when he shot and killed four students and injured seven other people at the school, a shooting he later admitted was planned to cause panic and fear in the school that day. In September, a judge determined that Crumbley is eligible for a sentence of life without parole following a lengthy and emotional Miller hearing, a mandatory proceeding that helps judges decide whether juveniles should spend the rest of their lives in prison.
The four students who died were Hana St. Juliana, 14; Tate Myre, 16; Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17.
As Crumbley is sentenced, his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, continue to maintain their innocence. They are the first parents in the U.S. to be charged in a mass school shooting, and will face separate trials in January on involuntary manslaughter charges.
They are accused of ignoring their son's mental health troubles and buying him a gun instead of getting him help − the same gun he used in the November 2021 massacre.
