"Opening Statements Unveiled in Starts Right Here Shooting Trial"

The trial has begun for Preston Walls, one of two students charged in the shooting at the Starts Right Here program in Iowa, where two fellow students were killed. Walls' lawyer argues that his client feared for his life and shot in self-defense, while prosecutors claim it was a premeditated attack on rival gang members. The victims' families deny any involvement in gangs. The school's founder, Will Keeps, who was wounded trying to intervene, testified, and graphic footage of the shootings was shown. Walls is charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and criminal gang participation. The trial is expected to last about a week.
