"I was feeling proud, strong, good, and more respected. I had accomplished something. I'm not the kind of kid who accomplishes anything. This is the only adventure I've ever had." ~Michael Carneal, age 14.
On December 1, 1997, 14-year-old Michael Carneal opened fire in his school, shooting and killing Nicole Hadley, Kayce Steger, and Jessica James. Five other students were injured; Missy Jenkins was left paralyzed from the waist down.
He carried his weapon into school covered in a blanket, calling it "an art project." He also had several other weapons in his backpack. His sister drove him to school, unaware of how armed he was and what he was about to do to his classmates. So that he wouldn't be bothered by the nose, he inserted earplugs into his own ears before he began shooting.
For his shocking crime, Carneal was sentence to life in prison with a chance of parole after 25 years. A decision will be made on parole later this fall.
If anyone would like to write a letter against the parole of Michael Carneal, you can do so by writing:
Kentucky Parole Board
P.O. Box 2400
Frankfort, KY 40602
Letters must be received by July 31, 2022.
