Summary by Ground News

Michael Carneal killed three students and wounded five more in a school shooting 25 years ago. He was a 14-year-old freshman on Dec. 1, 1997, when he fired the stolen pistol at a before-school prayer group in the lobby of Heath High School, near Paducah, Kentucky. A quarter century later, in the shadow of Uvalde and in a nation disgusted by the carnage of mass shootings, he tried to convince the parole panel he deserves to be freed.
