"Yes," he replied, when asked if he "knowingly, willfully and deliberately" chose to shoot other students. The prosecutor's office said no deals were made ahead of Monday's plea. A first-degree murder conviction typically brings an automatic life prison sentence in Michigan, but teenagers are entitled to a hearing at which their lawyer can argue for a shorter term and an opportunity for parole.

The teenager withdrew his intent to pursue an insanity defense, and repeatedly acknowledged that he understood the potential penalties. The gunman, now 16, had no discipline issues at the school, roughly 30 miles north of Detroit, but his behavior earlier on the day of the mass shooting raised flags.

A teacher had discovered a drawing with a gun pointing at the words: "The thoughts won't stop. Help me." There was an image of a bullet with the message: "Blood everywhere."
In court documents, prosecutors have revealed portions of the gunman's personal journal. He said his grades were poor and that his parents hated each other and had no money.

Separately, the elder Crumbleys are facing involuntary manslaughter charges. They are accused of making a gun accessible to the gunman and ignoring his need for mental health treatment. Parents have rarely been charged in school shootings, though the guns used commonly come from the home of a parent or close relative.

Prosecutors earlier this year disclosed that the gunman had hallucinations about demons and was fascinated by guns and Nazi propaganda. "Put simply, they created an environment in which their son's violent tendencies flourished. They were aware their son was troubled, and then they bought him a gun," prosecutors said in a court filing.
