Parting Shot — 3.19.13
T.J. Lane unbuttons his shirt during sentencing today in Chardon, Ohio. Lane was given three lifetime prison sentences without the possibility of parole for opening fire last year in a high school cafeteria in a rampage that left three students dead and three others wounded. Lane, 18, had pleaded guilty last month to shooting at students in February 2012 at Chardon High School, east of Cleveland. Investigators have said he admitted to the shooting but said he didn’t know why he did it. Before the case went to adult court last year, a juvenile court judge ruled that Lane was mentally competent to stand trial despite evidence he suffers from hallucinations, psychosis and fantasies. During the hearing, Lane flipped off the victims’ families in the courtroom.(AP Photo/The News-Herald, Duncan Scott, Pool)
