SPOKANE — The trial of accused Freeman High School shooter Caleb Sharpe has been pushed back to next June, nearly four years after the deadly incident, because of delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sharpe is charged with killing classmate Sam Strahan and wounding three girls in the 2017 shooting at the rural high school south of Spokane.
Sharpe was 15 at the time, but Spokane County Superior Court Judge Michael Price ruled last year that he will be tried as an adult and faces up to life in prison.
Sharpe faces one charge of first-degree murder, three counts of first-degree attempted murder and 51 counts of second-degree assault.
