Kentucky school shooter tells parole board he still hears voices urging harm

Kentucky Department of Corrections

A school shooter who killed three Kentucky students and injured five others in 1997 said Tuesday at his parole hearing that he still hears voices telling him to harm himself and others and does not “pay attention” to his mental health diagnoses.

Michael Carneal, 39, walked into his high school 25 years ago on the first Monday in December and opened fire in the lobby, hitting a prayer group that included people he considered his friends. He’s been serving a life sentence ever since, but is one of the few school shooters to receive a parole hearing.
