PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) - The case against a Woodrow Wilson High School student accused of firing shots inside the school on April 28 will stay in Circuit Court.
Bill Prince with the Portsmouth Commonwealth's Attorney's Office confrmed that Keith Elliott's lawyer appealed the transfer of the case from Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. "If you send him to to circuit court you will just create a bigger, badder person," his attorney told WAVY.com in May.
On Thursday, a judge denied the appeal.
The 15-year-old had been recently suspended, when police say he entered the school with a gun on April 28 and fired one round into a wall, then proceeded to the crowded cafeteria and fired two more shots. No one was hurt.
