The Freeman High School student accused of killing a classmate and injuring others in a school shooting in 2017 entered a guilty plea today.
According to the Spokesman-Review, Sharpe pleaded guilty to premediated murder, three counts of attempted premeditated murder and one count of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon.
Sharpe was scheduled to go to trial later this month, but will instead face sentencing.
Randy Russell, superintendent of the Freeman School District, said Sharp’s guilty plea will allow the victims and their families to avoid being re-traumatized. He also praised the Freeman students for their resiliency and thanked community members who had supported survivors.
