School shooting

On December 6, 1999, 13-year-old middle school student Seth Trickey shot four classmates with a Taurus PT92. 12-year-old Savana Knowles, was shot near her right ear, the slug exited without hitting vital organs. 13-year-old Billy Railey, was shot in his right leg. 13-year-olds Cody Chronister and Brad Schindel were also wounded. Another student received slight bruising. The victims were taken to area hospitals, there were no fatalities.^[3] One student found a bullet embedded in a book inside of his backpack days later.^[4] After emptying the 15 round clip, and while still pulling the trigger, Trickey was subdued by the school saftey officer and taken to jail, where he said that he did not know why he did the shooting.^[5][6]

Despite the prosecutors efforts to try him as an adult, Trickey was tried as a juvenile and was convicted in May 2000.^[7] In November 2003, he was released into the custody of his grandparents in Kansas.^[8] His state supervision ended in March 2005.^[9]
