Two teachers separately reported concerning behavior from sophomore Ethan Crumbley in the days before the deadly Michigan high school shooting he’s accused of committing — prompting two meetings with him, including one with his parents just hours before the massacre, a sheriff said Thursday.

The first behavioral report came Monday, when “a teacher in the classroom where he was a student saw and heard something that she felt was disturbing,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said.

“And they had a counseling session about it with school officials, and a phone call was left with the parents,” he said.

Then on Tuesday — hours before the shooting — “a different teacher in a different classroom saw some behavior that they felt was concerning, and they brought the child down to an office, had a meeting with school officials, called in the parents, and ultimately it was determined that he could go back into class.”

Authorities say Crumbley soon opened fire outside a school bathroom.
