The prosecution countered that he had "wanted to demonstrate he was tough" and "knew exactly what he was doing".

"You were the provoker and... you acted in distress and fury at what you considered to be his treachery of your relationship," pronounced the justice during the punishment phase.

Fallout

All Saints Catholic High School issued a message expressing that the student was "deeply missed every single day by the entire educational community".

Police officials stressed the tragic consequences of possessing weapons, observing that a "split-second decision" can forever alter multiple futures.
