ROCHESTER HILLS (WWJ) -- The disturbing sketches that were allegedly drawn by accused Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley prior to the deadly events on Nov. 30 have been released for the first time.
On Thursday, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office included the drawing during a court filing ahead of a Jan. 7 bond hearing for Ethan Crumbley’s parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley.
Featured on a marked-up math worksheet are the phrases "My life is useless," "Blood everywhere," and "The thoughts won't stop, help me." There are also sketches of a gun, a bullet, and a person who appears to be shot and bleeding.
The drawing is said to have been seen by a teacher, who reported it to school authorities. Crumbley and his parents were then called into the Oxford High School front office on the morning of Nov. 30, just several hours before the mass shooting took place that killed four students and wounded several others.
A second version of the drawing was also released by Oakland County Prosector Karen McDonald, showing what appear to be several modifications and additions to the paper.
The gun, the bullet and the bleeding victim have all been crossed out in the modified version, as well as the phrases "blood everywhere," "help me," and "my life is useless."
Instead, phrases like ”video game this is," "we're all friends here," "harmless act," "I love my life so much!!!!" and "OHS rocks!" have been added to the paper.
Crumbley, 15, has been charged with 24 counts of terrorism, murder and felony firearm charges. He is being held without bail.
Meanwhile, Jennifer and James Crumbley are accused of making a firearm accessible to their son, and face four counts each of involuntary manslaughter.
They are attempting to have their bonds lowered from $500,000 to $100,000.
