ORIGINAL STORY:

The teen accused of opening fire at a Harrisburg school nearly two years ago is set to appear in court Wednesday.

Mason Buhl will face a motion to transfer hearing, according to Lincoln County State's Attorney Tom Wollman.

Wollman says Buhl's lawyer has filed a request to move his case to juvenile court. The court is expected to make a decision on that request Wednesday.

Buhl has been charged on one count each of attempted murder and the commission of a felony while armed with a firearm for the September 2015 incident.

Authorities said Buhl, who was 16 at the time, brought a gun to school and shot principal Kevin Lein in the arm. Buhl was tackled and restrained by two other Harrisburg High School staff members.
