Detroit, Michigan - The Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) confirmed that both James Crumbley and Jennifer Crumbley were arrested on early Saturday in Detroit. Detroit police arrested both the Crumbleys in a basement at the 1100 block of Bellevue where their vehicle was located after someone recognized the vehicle and called in a tip that led police to that location.

The Crumbleys were being sought on felony warrants stemming from four felony counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Tuesday's mass fatal shooting at the Oakland High School by their 15-year-old son, Ethan Crumbley who fatally shot four students in cold blood and wounded multiple others.

According to the OCSO, the Crumbley's withdrew $4,000 from an ATM on Friday and were on the run. The OCSO, the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Services were conducting a nationwide fugitive search for the Crumbleys.

The OCSO reported that Jennifer texted her son after engaging in the mass school shooting and getting arrested that, "Lol, I'm not mad, you have to learn not to get caught."

Ethan, a sophomore student from Oxford High School was charged Wednesday with multiple felony counts of 1st-degree murder and terrorism causing death. He allegedly took a 9mm handgun to the school, shot multiple students and teacher around 12:55p.m. on Tuesday, according to the OCSO.

Ethan's father had purchased the handgun four days before the mass shooting. Authorities also alleged that weapons and ammunition at home were easily accessible to Ethan, which under state law both parents can be charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the Oxford High School mass shooting. 

The Crumbley's are known Trump supporters.

Oakland County District Attorney Karen McDonald on Wednesday filed the following charges against Ethan, who was charged as an adult: 

- (1) Count of Terrorism Causing Death
- (4) Counts of First-Degree Murder
- (7) Counts of Assault with Intent to Murder
- (12) Counts of Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony

Additional charges may be forthcoming pending the results of the full investigation.

The deceased victims were identified as Justin Shilling, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17, all students of Oxford High School, who succumbed to their injuries on Tuesday, the OCSO reported.
