"The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger," Baldwin told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger, never."

Fuck, guns have gone sentient!!

I could buy him saying he didn't intentionally pull the trigger, but just hit it practicing the drawing motion, but for the gun to (in)conveniently happen to have a live round and ALSO accidentally fire without the trigger being touched seems like quite the coincidence.

Uh, I remember someone stating "the hammer should never have been cocked." Have to go back and find it, but sounds like he didn't technically pull the trigger, but did pull back the hammer which obviously released. He's really going the semantic route atm.

Ah gotcha. So at best he is ignorant and irresponsible and didn't know that could cause it to fire, but either way the "didn't pull the trigger' is just a pathetic attempt.

Either way he should have NEVER pointed the gun at anyone even if the hammer wasn't pulled back, finger off trigger and 100% sure no ammo in chamber unless he intended to kill the target. Fucking gun training 101...dude needs to get slapped around for this.

Wow, fuck those parents. I hope this is the end of their gene pool.

Im really not a fan of charging parents since theyre usually unaware of the dumb shit their kids do behind their back.

“Learn to not get caught” is some fucked up shit and she absolutely deserves to get everything coming her way.

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A prosecutor says the parents of a teen accused of killing four students at a Michigan high school were summoned a few hours earlier after a teacher found a drawing of a gun, a person bleeding and the words “help me.”

Yeah. The parents definitely need to be charged with something.

This is the type of shit we've always discussed about school shootings and if there was anything that could've been done to prevent it.

On Tuesday, a student walked out of a washroom in his Oxford, Michigan, high school, pulled out a handgun, and methodically began shooting students. Police allege the shooter was 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley who was arrested at the scene.

Crumbley has been charged as an adult with murder, attempted murder, and, despite the shooting seemingly not having a political motive, terrorism.

Now, as District Prosecutor Karen McDonald announced at a Friday afternoon press conference, his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, each face four charges of involuntary manslaughter.

The county’s sheriff said that less than a week before the shooting, Crumbley’s father bought the 9mm Sig Sauer gun. McDonald said an employee at the gun shop where the weapon was purchased said that Ethan was there with his father. She said social media posts indicate Crumbley received the gun from his parents as a “Christmas present.” McDonald said based on the statements from Ethan and his parents, this “clearly was his gun.”

After news of the shooting became public, Jennifer allegedly texted her son, “Ethan don’t do it.”

Parents being charged in this way is relatively unheard of, experts said when speculations arose earlier this week. In Michigan, there’s no law that requires gun owners to keep their firearms out of the reach of children.

They're on the run now. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1466871865410932736

Attempts by their attorney to contact them so they could surrender have failed

FBI and US Marshals aiding with the search. Both are considered armed and dangerous.
