Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said Wednesday that the United States has become "desensitized to school shootings" as she announced terrorism and murder charges against 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, who is accused of shooting and killing four students and wounding seven others at Oxford High School.
"We’re going to hold the people responsible accountable and we’re going to receive justice for these victims. And hopefully, we’re going to start a long-going conversation and move the needle on appropriate gun control." Officers appreheneded the school shooting suspect within five minutes of the first 911 call. (WJBK) Investigators seize guns from suspected Oxford school shooter's home.

Oxford High School, which had undergone active shooter training, went into lockdown as soon as Crumbley allegedly opened fire.
"The response was executed perfectly yet four children were killed and multiple injuries occurred, which suggests that we really can't train ourselves out of this tragedy," McDonald said. "We have to address the fact that people should be held accountable who own guns and are not responsible" in how they use them.
