The Crumbleys left the night after the shooting "for their own safety" but are returning for arraignment, their lawyers said Friday.
Authorities are searching for the parents of a teenager accused of killing four people in a Michigan high school shooting this week, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office confirmed Friday.
Late Friday, the U.S. Marshals Service released wanted posters and announced rewards of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of James and Jennifer Crumbley, who were charged earlier in the day with four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
An attorney for the parents had contacted authorities Friday morning to say that James and Jennifer Crumbley would turn themselves in if they were charged, sheriff Michael Bouchard said.

On Friday afternoon after officials said they were searching for the pair, their lawyers said the couple had not fled but had left town the night after the shooting “for their own safety” and were in the process of returning for arraignment.
“They are not fleeing from law enforcement despite recent comments in media reports," lawyers Shannon Smith and Mariell Lehman said in a statement.
The attorneys’ statement regarding the Crumbleys’ return was first reported by the Detroit News.
The Crumbleys walked into a bank Friday and withdrew $4,000 for reasons that weren’t immediately known, a source with direct knowledge told NBC News.
The sheriff’s office said it had not heard from lawyers late Friday afternoon and said that the duo’s voluntary return was not assured. By late Friday, there was no word of their return.
Initial news of the search came shortly after Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald announced the charges against the parents of 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, the suspect in the shooting Tuesday at Oxford High School in Oakland County, roughly 30 miles north of Detroit.
“While the shooter was the one who entered the high school and pulled the trigger, there are other individuals who contributed to the events on Nov. 30, and it’s my intent to hold them accountable as well," McDonald said at a news conference.
She added, “Gun ownership is a right, and with that right comes great responsibility.”
how much was the reward for the black kid’s parents that shot up the school in Texas last month?
Did the black kid’s parents give him his firearm as a present, and then take off for parts unknown after he shot people? I don’t recall reading that.
Looks like their car was dumped in Detroit and they ran off. Agenda Free TV is covering it now.

Facts are messy. Better to just follow the nice, clean narrative.
Confused. Thought they came back.
Going to put this here because not sure where to put it: this shooting was not of an anti-Semitic nature was it? Oakland County has a strong Jewish community and this is the season of Channukah.
Well, generally people have to die to be charged with manslaughter, and no one died in that one, so the deflection attempt falls a little flat.
When do people at the school get charged. They appeared to know a lot about the kid.
Let me guess, they are white. In the northern bastion of blackness this would never happen to a “person of color”.
You would see a riot from hell crank up and destroy what is left.
