CNN —During a pivotal meeting with school employees hours before the mass shooting at a Michigan high school, James Crumbley told his son there were “people you can talk to,” a school counselor testified Monday in the father’s manslaughter trial.
Hopkins testified “on the surface level” it appeared James Crumbley was showing the appropriate level of care for his then-15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley.
The case against James Crumbley, like the one against his wife, is set to test the limits of who is responsible for a mass shooting.
James Crumbley did not protest, according to the counselor.
“You will not hear that James Crumbley knew what his son was going to do,” she said.
