Jennifer Crumbley, mother of Michigan shooter, testifies she regrets her son's actions
Crumbley said her teenage son, Ethan, was worried about his future and would get stressed out, but his mental health never alarmed her enough that she felt he needed to see a professional.
PONTIAC, Mich. — Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of teenage school shooter Ethan Crumbley, testified Thursday that while "I don't think I'm a failure as a parent" and "wouldn't have" done anything differently in how she parented her son, she regrets what he did.
"I wish he would have killed us, instead," she said on the stand in her involuntary manslaughter trial.
She added: "I don't want to say that I'm a victim, because I do not want to disrespect the families that truly are the victims in this, but we did lose a lot."
"You lost everything?" her lawyer, Shannon Smith, asked.
"We did," Crumbley said.
