In a first case of its kind, the parents of a US school shooter have been sentenced over their child's attack.  

Ethan Crumbley killed four students when he opened fire at a Michigan high school in 2021 and was sentenced to life without parole.  

His parents James and Jennifer Crumbley were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for their failure to secure the gun used in the shooting and have been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison respectively. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that the case was intensely emotional.
