BENTON — The charges against a 15-year-old Kentucky student accused of killing two and injuring more than a dozen others in a shooting at Marshall County High School on Jan. 23 will be heard in adult court, per the suspect's arraignment Friday.
Gabriel Ross Parker, of Hardin, Kentucky, is charged "with two counts of Murder and 14 counts of First Degree Assault. The charges stem from the January 23 shooting at Marshall County High School," according to a statement from the Kentucky State Police.
Officials declined to comment further.
Parker's bond was set at $1.5 million.
A Marshall County grand jury met Tuesday to consider trying Parker as an adult. He was originally charged in the Marshall County Juvenile Court, but prosecutors asked for the case to be moved to the county’s circuit court.
