当局称,15岁的伊森·克里里在密歇根高中杀害了四名同学,他的父母仍在监狱里,此前法官以与枪击案有关的过失杀人罪向他们每人发放了50万美元的保证金。
詹姆斯和珍妮弗·克里西周六凌晨被拘留,因为他们没有在周五下午接受预定的提审,这促使他们花了一个小时寻找这对夫妇。网上监狱记录显示,他们周日仍被关押在奥克兰县监狱,并且没有被保释。
据奥克兰县警长办公室称,在底特律,一名企业主发现嫌疑人的车停在他们的停车场,詹妮弗·克里利站在车旁后,拨打了911报警电话,随后这对夫妇被抓获。她步行逃离了该地区,但在对该地区进行广泛搜索后,这对夫妇被发现在一个艺术工作室的商业建筑中。
底特律警察局长詹姆斯·怀特(James White)在周六凌晨3点的新闻发布会上告诉记者,他们“在进入大楼方面得到了帮助”,并补充说,他们“非常有可能”试图逃到加拿大。奥克兰县治安官迈克尔·布查德说,他的办公室将向检察官办公室提出对据称帮助他们进入大楼的人的潜在指控。
这位65岁的底特律艺术家的律师克拉伦斯·达斯(Clarence Dass)告诉美国广播公司新闻,他的工作室詹妮弗(Jennifer)和詹姆斯·克里利(James Chilley)曾在周五逃离当局时躲藏过,他在当天的行动中坚称自己是无辜的。
安兹雷·西科拉的律师周日告诉美国广播公司新闻,克里里夫妇于周五早上来到西科拉,当天该县对牛津学校枪击案中的这对夫妇提出过失杀人指控。达斯说,克里里夫妇是通过一个滑雪俱乐部认识西科拉的。
达斯拒绝描述周五上午的互动,也没有透露西科拉是否给了这对夫妇他工作室所在的底特律大楼的钥匙。达斯说,西科拉不知道这对夫妇在枪击事件中面临指控,他说他“知道发生了什么”,但没有密切关注新闻。
达斯说,当西科拉在周六醒来时,看到了奇瑞夫妇被连夜逮捕的消息,他去了底特律警察局,告诉他们他是工作室的主人。当局随后将他带到奥克兰县警长办公室,在那里他提供了他所知道的信息,然后聘请达斯为律师。
达斯说,西科拉没有被逮捕,也没有对他的委托人提出指控,但他不排除当局本周可能会起诉这位艺术家。
每位家长都将面临四项过失杀人罪,当局称这是因为他们未能妥善保管枪击中使用的枪支。他们都对指控不认罪。
检察官说,周二,枪击事件发生的早上,牛津高中的一名教师在伊森·克里利的桌子上看到一张纸条,上面画着一把半自动手枪,指向“思想不会停止,救救我”。另一幅画描绘了一颗子弹,上面写着“到处都是血”,还有一幅画描绘了一个流血的人,据检察官说,他似乎被枪杀了两次。
随后,伊森·奇利被带离教室,他的父母被叫到学校,校方称他们“很难联系到”。
牛津社区学校主管蒂姆·王座周六在一份声明中说,伊桑·奇利告诉学校指导顾问,这些画是为他正在设计的一款电子游戏绘制的。王座说,他的父母没有表明他们最近为他购买了枪支,并让辅导员相信对他自己或他人没有暴力威胁。
王座补充说,目前还不清楚这把枪当时是否在伊森·克里里的背包里。王座说,由于他没有惩戒记录,他们把他送回了班级,而不是家里。他的父母随后被告知,他们必须在48小时内让儿子接受咨询。
奥克兰县助理检察官马克·凯斯特(Marc Keast)在周三的提审中表示,几个小时后,伊森·奇利(Ethan Chilley)拿着他父亲在11月26日买的9毫米西格·绍尔手枪,走在走廊上,瞄准教室。鲍查德周三告诉记者,当他在走廊被捕时,枪支里还剩18发实弹。

伊森·奇利在成年后被指控犯有四项一级谋杀罪和七项意图谋杀的袭击罪——检察官声称这些行为是有预谋的。
王座要求第三方调查学校如何处理导致枪击的事件。
王座说:“我个人要求对过去一周发生的所有事件进行第三方审查,因为我们的社区和家庭应该对发生的事情进行全面、透明的说明。
密歇根州总检察长达纳·内塞尔也联系了牛津社区学校,为调查枪击事件和导致枪击事件的事件提供帮助。
“我们的律师和特别代理人有独特的资格进行如此大规模的调查,”内塞尔在推特上说。
Artist did not knowingly help alleged Michigan school shooter's parents flee: Lawyer
The parents of Ethan Crumbley, the 15-year-old who authorities said killed four classmates at his Michigan high school, are still in jail after a judge assigned them each a $500,000 bond on manslaughter charges related to the shooting.
James and Jennifer Crumbley were taken into custody early Saturday after they failed to turn themselves in Friday afternoon for a scheduled arraignment, prompting an hourslong search for the couple. They remained in the Oakland County jail on Sunday and have not posted bail, online jail records show.
The couple was captured in Detroit after a business owner called 911 after spotting the suspects' car in their parking lot and Jennifer Crumbley standing next to it, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. She fled the area on foot, but the couple was located in a commercial building in an art studio after an extensive search of the area.
They were "aided in getting into the building," Detroit Police Chief James White told reporters at a 3 a.m. press conference Saturday, adding that it was "very likely" they were trying to flee to Canada. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said his office would be presenting potential charges to the prosecutor's office against the person who allegedly helped them gain access to the building.
The 65-year-old Detroit artist whose studio Jennifer and James Crumbley used to hide as they allegedly fled authorities on Friday is maintaining his innocence in their movements that day, his attorney, Clarence Dass, told ABC News.
The lawyer for Andzrej Sikora told ABC News on Sunday that the Crumbleys came to Sikora on Friday morning, the day the county leveled charges of involuntary manslaughter against the couple in the Oxford school shooting. The Crumbleys knew Sikora through a ski club, Dass said.
Dass declined to describe the interaction Friday morning and would not say whether Sikora gave the couple keys to the Detroit building that houses his studio. Sikora was not aware the couple was facing charges in the shooting, saying that he “knew what was going on” but wasn’t following the news closely, Dass said.
When Sikora woke up on Saturday and saw the news of the Crumbleys’ overnight arrest, he went to the Detroit Police Department and told them he was the owner of the studio, Dass said. Authorities then directed him to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, where he provided information about what he knew, before hiring Dass as counsel.
Sikora has not been arrested and no charges have been filed against his client, Dass said, but he did not rule out the possibility that authorities could charge the artist this week.
Each parent is facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter for what authorities are saying was a failure to properly secure the firearm that was used in the shooting. They have both pleaded not guilty to the charges.
On Tuesday, the morning of the shooting, a teacher at Oxford High School saw a note on Ethan Crumbley's desk with a drawing of a semi-automatic handgun pointing at the words, "The thoughts won't stop, help me," prosecutors said. Another drawing depicted a bullet with the words "Blood everywhere" above it and a drawing of a bleeding person who appeared to have been shot twice, according to prosecutors.
Ethan Crumbley was then removed from class, and his parents, who school officials said were "difficult to reach," were called to the school.
Ethan Crumbley told school guidance counselors that the drawings were for a video game he was designing, Oxford Community Schools Superintendent Tim Throne said in a statement Saturday. His parents did not indicate that they had recently purchased a firearm for him and led the counselors to believe there was no threat of violence, to himself or to others, Throne said.
It is not clear whether the gun was in Ethan Crumbley's backpack at the time, Throne added. Due to his lack of disciplinary record, they sent him back to class instead of home, Throne said. His parents were then told that they were required to get their son into counseling within 48 hours.
Hours later, Ethan Crumbley was armed with a 9 mm Sig Sauer pistol his father bought on Nov. 26 as he walked down the hallway, aiming into classrooms, Oakland County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Marc Keast said during Wednesday's arraignment. There were 18 live rounds left in the firearm when he was apprehended in the hallway, Bouchard told reporters Wednesday.
Ethan Crumbley has been charged as an adult with four counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of assault with intent to murder -- actions that prosecutors allege were premeditated.
Throne has requested a third-party probe to investigate how the school handled the events leading up to the shooting.
"I have personally asked for a third-party review of all the events of the past week because our community and our families deserve a full, transparent accounting of what occurred," Throne said.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has also reached out to the Oxford Community Schools to offer help in investiating the shooting and events leading up to it.
"Our attorneys and special agents are uniquely qualified to perform an investigation of this magnitude," Nessel tweeted.
