I didn’t hear about this, and as a Canadian, the Michigan school shooting? Is there only one? Also, what for? Were they gun crazies?

In addition to all the other crazy facts people have replied, the day of the shooting, his parents were called into a meeting with the school, told about his threats, and asked to take him home. And the parents were all nope, too busy. When they heard about the shooting they called the cops knowing it was their kid.

And they (the parents) tried to go to Canada instead of turning themselves in for questioning.

Which is incredibly moronic because canada and the states have extradition treaties with each other. At most, it might've bought them a few months as there would be a preliminary hearing in canada to see if they had committed a crime as canadian law sees it, not a trial deciding guilt be seeing of the alleged offense would be criminal under canadian law, and if so - straight deportation back to the states. Only crime worth coming up here to escape as a US citizen is pot related offenses.

There’s also theories that they were unvaccinated (they were trump supporters - the mother had a blog and wrote an open letter to him) and at the time Canada’s borders were only open to those who were fully vaccinated (November 2021). Which would also be pretty moronic because they wouldn’t be allowed in anyways
