The gun used belonged to Raymond Fryberg, the father of the shooter.

Another student was wounded before another teacher disarmed Loukaitis. Loukaitis was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, but the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 ruled offenders under 16 could not receive life sentences. Prosecutors are asking to change the sentence to 189 years in prison.

Cloud had been sexually abused by Summers, reportedly for a decade. Cloud served nine years in prison.
