Artist who helped Michigan shooting suspect's parents hide is cooperating with police

Jennifer and James Crumbley and their son, accused Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley, are being held in separate cells in the Oakland County, Michigan, jail. "No talking, no communication," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said Saturday. "They are all three in isolation."

Ethan Crumbley, 15, was arrested Tuesday for allegedly murdering four fellow students, and his parents were arrested at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning in an art studio in Detroit after failing to show up for their arraignment. All three have pleaded not guilty. Bail for James and Jennifer Crumbley was set at $500,000 each due to the severity of their involuntary manslaughter charges and perceived flight risk.
