The parents of Michigan high school shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley withdrew cash, sold their horses, and bought four burner phones after finding out about their son’s actions.

Jennifer and James Crumbley were taken into custody on 4 December in a warehouse in Detroit following the Oxford High School shooting on 30 November that left four students dead.

During a bond hearing on Friday, a detailed account of the parents’ actions was shared as District Court Judge Julie Nicholson denied their lawyers’ request to lower their $500,000 bonds to $100,000 each, according to The Detroit News. They are both jailed on four charges each of involuntary manslaughter following Ethan Crumbley’s suspected killing of four students and wounding of seven others.

Ms Nicholson cited the Crumbleys’ connections to family in Florida when rejecting the request to decrease the bonds. She also mentioned the seriousness of the charges and that they fled to an artist studio in eastern Detroit, where they were apprehended by police early on 4 December.
