Authorities said Ethan deliberately brought a loaded gun into a school that was packed with 1,800 students. They have argued that he knew what he was doing and did it anyway.
Sheriff Mike Bouchard said, “There is nothing that he could have faced that warrants absolutely brutal and senseless violence on other children.” He also reported that at the time of the arrest, Ethan Crumbley had an additional 18 rounds of ammunition.
Reports suggest he went to the school bathroom with a backpack and returned with a gun, openly shooting at people in the hallway.
His father had recently brought a new gun to school.
Charges have also been filed against his parents for failing to keep the gun away from the teen.
Speaking of the terrorism charges, prosecutor Karen McDonald said: “What about all the kids running around screaming and hiding under desks? Those are victims too, and so is their families and so is the community.” She also argued that these incidents have happened a lot in recent years and that the authorities must take strict measures so that they do not happen again.
The incident has drawn attention across the country and many people are mourning the death of innocent children. President Joe Biden has also addressed the issue of mourning victims and their families.
