Detention hearing for school shooting suspect

The Townville school shooting suspect, a 14-year old boy, gets a hearing this morning in Anderson for the judge to decide probable cause for pending petitions and the boy’s detention status. But the Anderson County Courthouse hearing is closed to the media and the public.  According to the office of 10th Circuit Solicitor Chrissy Adams, “While I realize there are many unanswered questions, the investigation into this tragedy is in a critical stage, and is ongoing. Therefore, given the sensitive nature of the parties involved, and the gravity of the incidents that occurred, we ask for patience as law enforcement and my office continue the hard work of seeing that justice is done. We will not be answering further questions at this time.”
