the parents of school shooter ethan crumbley will go to trial themselves. james and jennifer crumbley have pleaded not guilty to four counts of involuntary manslaughter for what prosecutors say was their responsibility in their son's 2021 massacre, killing four students and injuring seven others. prosecutors say the crumbleys denied his request for psychological help, and then they bought him the gun. >> he bought him the gun. >> well, the first thing he did when he heard about the school shooting was go back home to see if the gun was there, so it certainly it was at the top of his head. >> reporter: prosecutors say before the shooting, ethan's mother laughed off reports saying ethan was researching ammunition in class. they say the day of the massacre, they declined to take him home after he was caught drawing a person shot. the crumbleys attorneys admit the parents may tremendously bad decisions but argue they should be held personally responsible for their child's crimes.

the judges noted the substantial red flags the parents allegedly ignored. >> they were very clear that these were things that any objective, reasonable person would have looked at and seen warning signs. and that is really the difference between just parenting and what we see in this particular case. >> reporter: david, ethan crumbley has pleaded guilty to all counts in this shooting. he's facing the possibility to life in prison, but he may still be called to testify in this case either for or against his own parents. david? >> david: trevor ault tonight. trevor, thanks to you. we will turn to the heated showdown on capitol hill, the ceo of tiktok under fire from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over your personal information, your privacy, and over national security concerns involving the massively popular tiktok app. the ceo trying to fend off a possible ban today on the hill promising there is a firewall protecting your personal information from the chinese government. but you ae about to see the back-and-forth, lawmakers were not convinced.
