PONTIAC, Mich.—The father of a Michigan school shooter told police shortly after the fatal attack that a gun and ammunition used by his son had been hidden at the family’s home, according to a video seen by jurors Friday.

James and Jennifer Crumbley were interviewed in a small room at a sheriff’s office while Ethan Crumbley was kept in another room. Two investigators spoke calmy as they tried to get as much information as possible from the parents.
