Woman Says Carneal Never Apologized for Shooting

By Associated Press

Paducah, KY – The mother of a western Kentucky teenager killed in a 1997 school shooting says she never received an apology or heard from the classmate who killed her daughter. Sabrina Steger says attorneys and doctors are (quote)"making excuses" for 27-year-old Michael Carneal. Carneal's mental health is the subject of a hearing in federal court in Paducah as he tries to clear a path to challenge his guilty plea to killing three classmates and wounding five others at Heath High School. Carneal is expected to take the stand today.
