Father of suspected school shooter convicted of murder
Original: Suspected school shooter's father convicted of murder
The father of a suspected school shooter has been convicted of murder, according to ABC News. The verdict makes him criminally responsible for the deadly attack carried out by his child, a rare legal outcome in US school shootings. Prosecutors argued the parent failed to secure the weapon and ignored warning signs, a theory watchers say could reshape parental accountability in similar cases.
Why now: The conviction breaks new ground in holding parents legally responsible for their children's school shootings, a highly contested issue in the US.
