News about Shawn Hopkins

Mackenzie Hopkins, 24, was discovered dead in her bathtub on January 15 2022 by her father, Shannon Hopkins, sister Hazel, and police. Jose E. Escalante-Corchado, 32, pleaded guilty to her murder and to first-degree assault on her then-four-year-old daughter, who was critically wounded in the attack but recovered.

According to jurors, school gunman Ethan Crumbley took a'shooter's role' and learned how to 'tactically reload' at gun range visits with his father before teaching those skills on his classmates. On Monday, ATF Special Agent Brett Brandon appeared on the stand, where he testified about how the teen's shooting abilities'stood out' to him after he killed four classmates in November 2021. Ethan's behavior was similar to one taught to law enforcement, according to Brandon, who noticed how quickly the teen reloaded his weapon as he opened fire. Prosecutors brought James as a reckless father who ignored his son's mental health problems, including when he took him to the gun range eight times and bought him a new 9mm handgun four days before the shooting.

Shawn Hopkins, a school counselor, appeared on Monday to testify against Ethan Crumbley's erratic behavior before the 2021 Oxford school shooting, saying he could'see the sadness' inside Ethan on the morning of the tragedy.

Jennifer Crumbley is a terrible mother. Does that mean she should go to prison? We are in the middle of an extraordinary American trial: a mother is charged with four counts of mandatory manslaughter for the 2021 school massacre perpetrated by her then fifteen-year-old son Ethan. At Oxford High School in Michigan, four students were killed and seven were injured. The killings were aimed at the gunman for those very reasons. Ethan's weapon and ammunition had been purchased for him by his parents as a Christmas gift. Jennifer Crumbley, the vivacious mother who denied her only child's desperate pleas for support, appeared to be disengaged this week, in one case mocking him.
