Colorado School Shooting Hearing
GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) – A preliminary hearing for a man accused of
shooting two students at a Colorado middle school has been
postponed to give defense attorneys more time to review evidence.
Public defenders for Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood said Tuesday
they were reviewing 2,000 documents, including copies of his
journals. A new hearing date was scheduled April 28.
Eastwood is accused of opening fire Feb. 23 outside Deer Creek
Middle School, not far from the site of the deadly 1999 shootings
at Columbine High School. Two students were wounded before teachers
tackled Eastwood.
Tuesday’s hearing was to consider whether there is enough
evidence against Eastwood for the case to proceed. Eastwood is
being held on $1 million bail.
