The parents of the teen accused in this week's deadly Michigan high school shooting were arrested early Saturday in Detroit, authorities said, ending an hourslong search for them after they failed to appear in court on involuntary manslaughter charges in the killings.
James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of Oxford High School shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley, were found on the first floor of an industrial or commercial building after someone tipped police Friday night that their vehicle was nearby, police officials said.
"They appeared to be hiding in the building," some 40 miles south of the Oxford area where they live, Detroit Police Chief James White said during a news conference early Saturday. They were "very distressed" after they were detained, the chief said.

I don’t understand the charges against the parents. Can anyone explain?
Now that’s just sexist! It should be “arrested after a ‘person’ hunt.”
dumbasses
Dad gave him the gun and mom at some point that day, knew what he was going to do because she texted him; “Don’t do it”, yet never called authorities or the school.
They might be guilty as heck.....
....but it may be a continuing vendetta ( against Trump) as the news keeps touting a letter or email she sent to President Trump thanking him for protecting the 2nd amendment....
Call me super suspicious but it seems like a set up to me
I don’t either.
Can’t explain but the charges are
The Crumbleys were charged Friday with four counts of involuntary
manslaughter over the shooting their 15-year-old son, Ethan, is
accused of carrying out on Tuesday, when four students were killed
and seven other people were wounded at Oxford High School.
I believe they were complicit in obtaining at least one gun (via a straw purchase) for their felonious son.
Apparently the mother actually begged about it online...
begged about it online...
begged or bragged?
I heard she made that text AFTER she heard there was an active shooter at the school on the news. So I still don’t understand.
Then shouldn’t the charge be whatever statute covers the straw purchase? I don’t understand how the authorities get to charging them with complicity in the killings.
So, did the police get the texts before or after they charged them?
I agree. It’s revenge. They are liable for the harm caused because they were reckless, but I don’t know about charging them with manslaughter..
Hadn’t heard that part but getting called to school because he drew a gun and wrote Help Me on it, they should have checked his backpack.
Maybe they can charge that nitwit with involuntary manslaughter who bailed him out for $1000 on the prior charge he had.
Running sure makes them look both stupid and guilty.
I watched the arraignment this morning of the parents. Already the prosecution has been hyping in the media. I think there is a lot we just do not know yet so I reserve any judgement or opinion on this until we know the facts.
Taking what the media says is fact is not a good idea.
