One of the nation’s first school shooters presented his case to a parole board in far western Kentucky Tuesday.
Michael Carneal — who committed the 1997 Heath High School shooting — is up for parole in November after serving nearly 25 years in prison. The two-person parole board failed to reach a unanimous decision and deferred the case to the full Kentucky Parole Board. This followed a hearing earlier in the week where some of the victims of the shooting gave their statements regarding his possible parole.
