The New York Times
A 15-year-old accused of killing four of his classmates and wounding seven other people had described wanting to attack the school in cellphone videos and a journal, the authorities said.
PONTIAC, Mich. — On Tuesday morning, the parents of a 15-year-old sophomore walked into Oxford High School to meet face to face with school officials who had grown concerned about their son’s classroom behavior.
Just about three hours after that meeting started, according to law enforcement authorities, the student, Ethan Crumbley, walked into a school bathroom carrying a backpack and emerged with a handgun. He began firing, killing four students and wounding seven people in the deadliest school shooting this year.
New details about the suspect’s behavior and actions in the hours leading up to the shooting spree emerged on Wednesday as he was charged with terrorism, four counts of first-degree murder and an array of other charges.
