Shooting
On February 29, 2016, four students were injured during a shooting in the school's cafeteria when James "Austin" Hancock discharged seven rounds from a firearm.[4][5] The shooter fled the scene, but was later arrested and charged as an adult with four counts of attempted murder and one count of inducing panic.[6][7] On June 6, the shooter was sentenced to six years in juvenile detention.[8] The victims' families later filed a lawsuit against him, his family, and the state, alleging that the shooter's parents entrusted him with the gun used in the shooting, and that the weapon was registered to another relative who failed to properly secure it.[9]
