A Prosecutor Says School Officials Had a Legal Right to Search the Shooting Suspect’s Belongings
School officials in Michigan had legal grounds to search shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley’s backpack and locker but did not do so, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald told CNN on Monday.
“We don’t know exactly if that weapon was in his bag, where it was, we just know it was in the school and he had access to it,” McDonald told CNN’s Brianna Keilar.
When asked if school staff members might be prosecuted, McDonald replied, “We haven’t ruled out charging anyone.”
McDonald also said there was evidence beyond what has already been revealed that she will use in prosecuting Crumbley and his parents in the shooting that left four students dead.
