PADUCAH, Kentucky (CNN) -- The teen-age suspect in last month's Kentucky school shooting was scheduled to make his first public court appearance Thursday morning, as the FBI announced plans to search the contents of his personal computer.
Michael Carneal, 14, is accused of opening fire on an informal prayer group in the lobby of Heath High School, where he was a freshman. Three students were killed and five wounded in the December 1 attack.
Carneal was indicted as an adult on three counts of murder, five counts of attempted murder, and one count of burglary. The commonwealth's prosecutor has said he'll pursue the maximum penalty of life in prison, which would mean Carneal, if convicted, would have to serve 25 years before he could be considered for parole.
In a search for a possible motive into the deadly shootings, the FBI has agreed to search the contents of Carneal's personal computer. Lobby Heath High School lobby where the shooting occurred
