Attorney: Santa Fe High School Shooter Will Be Declared Incompetent

US-CRIME-TEXAS-SCHOOL-SHOOTING

The attorney for a teen accused of killing ten people inside a Texas high school believes he'll be incompetent to stand trial. Nicholas Poehl says he expects a Galveston County judge to make the ruling following a months-long mental evaluation. Poehl says prosecutors agree with the evaluation. His client is accused of opening fire inside Santa Fe High School in May 2018. He'll head to a state-run psychiatric hospital until he's deemed competent for trial.
