Oxford High School shooting suspect arraignment
Ethan Crumbley appears before a judge in Oakland County court and is ordered without bond and moved to county jail from the juvenile facility the 15-year-old mass shooting suspect was being lodged at.
PONTIAC, Mich. (FOX 2) - The 15-year-old mass shooting suspect made his first appearance in Oakland County court following Tuesday's Oxford High School attack that killed four teens and wounded seven other people.
Ethan Crumbley sat in a green sleeveless prisoner jumpsuit and said "Yes I do" in understanding the 24 counts against him as an adult, including four counts of first-degree murder, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, one count of terrorism, and 12 counts of possession of a firearm.
Crumbley's attorney entered a not guilty plea.
Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor Marc Keast spoke about the chilling footage of the attack he viewed from security camera footage in preparation for the hearing.
"We have had the opportunity to view the video and what is depicted on that video - I don't have the words," Keast said.
Keast said the video apparently showed Crumbley enter a bathroom with a backpack, and exit a moment later without it, holding a gun and opening fire.
"At that point, he deliberately aimed the gun at students and began firing at students," Keast continued. "After students started running he continued down the hallway pointing the gun and firing (at them) and firing in classrooms and at students who were unable to escape."
Judge Nancy T. Carniak ruled Crumbley be held without bond and be moved to Oakland County Jail after being moved from Children's Village.
"I want to err on the side of caution," said Judge Carniak in recommending Crumbley be moved to the adult facility. "This should be done to protect other juveniles, he will be in isolation with contact only from sheriff deputies."
