The parents of the 15-year-old charged in this week's deadly shooting at Michigan's Oxford High School have been charged with four counts each of homicide involuntary manslaughter.

The charges against James and Jennifer Crumbley were filed Friday morning in 52nd District Court in Rochester Hills.

Prosecutors will try to show that sophomore Ethan Crumbley's parents were criminally negligent and contributed to or caused a dangerous situation, said CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig.

It is rare for parents to be charged like this -- and possibly unprecedented, he said.

"What the prosecutor is saying is, let's look at the parents' responsibility," Honig said. "This is really a new frontier."
