Republic Reporter Weighs In On Start Of NAU Shooting Trial

Tomorrow, the trial of Steven Jones is expected to start; Jones opened fire on fellow NAU students in October 2015, killing one, Colin Brough, and wounding three others.

Jones faces first-degree premeditated murder charges for Brough’s death, and aggravated assault charges for the other shootings. Jones has claimed self-defense.

Reporter Michael Kiefer of The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com will be covering the trial, and he joins me.
