Authorities are currently searching for Michigan school shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley's parents "just hours before they are scheduled to be arraigned on involuntary manslaughter charges," CNN reports, per authorities.
Oakland county prosecutor Karen McDonald levied charges against the parents earlier on Friday, explaining that "while the shooter was the one who entered the high school and pulled the trigger, there are other individuals who contributed to the events on Nov. 30, and it's my intention to hold them accountable as well." Officials have said that James Crumbley, Ethan's father, purchased the gun used in the shooting, which was reportedly described as Ethan's Christmas present.
