The assailant, then 15-year-old sophomore Caleb Sharpe, brought two guns, an AR-15 rifle and a Colt 1903 pistol then shot and killed one student, Sam Strahan, who was attempting to prevent the shooting from taking place, in the torso and head. Three other students were injured and taken to the hospital. Sharpe pleaded guilty before his trial as an adult. In 2022, Sharpe was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison. In September 2024 he was resentenced to 25 years to life due to a law banning people from being sentenced to over 25 years to life for crimes committed before they were 16 years old.Demographics
