The teenager who killed two of his fellow students and shot over a dozen other students and teachers at Marshall County High School has entered a guilty plea in the case.
Gabe Parker, 18, pled guilty to two counts of murder, eight counts of first-degree assault and six counts of second-degree assault.
Bailey Nicole Holt and Preston Ryan Cope, both 15, were killed in the January 23, 2018, shooting.
Marshall County Commonwealth Attorney Dennis Foust said Parker agreed to two life sentences for the murders, and 20 years each of the first-degree assault charges and 10 years each of the six second-degree assault charges.
Parker will be eligible for parole in 18 years.
His trial was scheduled for June 1 in Hopkinsville.
