Journal entries and audio recordings from Ethan Crumbley, the Michigan teenager who shot four of his high school peers to death and injured seven others in 2021, were read and played aloud Thursday during his sentencing hearing.
Crumbley pleaded guilty in October 2022 to 24 counts, including four counts of first-degree murder, after he killed 16-year-old Tate Myre, 16-year-old Justin Shilling, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana and 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021.
He referred to himself as “evil” and said he wanted to become famous for his crimes in notes discovered by investigators.

“I wish to hear the screams of the children as I shoot them,” Crumbley wrote in one journal entry. He also expressed the desire to drown children and throw a child “off a cliff.”
