Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald told the press that there’s a “mountain of digital evidence” to prove that Crumbley planned the murders. She said the terrorism charge is warranted because the students were hiding under their desks, running, screaming, and experiencing other trauma related to the shooting. She pointed out that hundreds of people within the community are now grappling with the aftermath.
Crumbley is currently being held at Oakland County Children’s Village without bond.
