The gunman behind the Duquesne University shooting spree entered a plea in court on Friday.

The shooting happened in September 2006 at Duquesne University.

Five of the school's basketball players were shot after they left a dance on campus. All of the shooting victims survived.

William Holmes pleaded guilty and was sentenced up to 40 years in prison. Holmes is the second person to plead guilty in this case.

Earlier this week, 19-year-old Derek Lee pleaded guilty to attempted homicide. He will spend seven to 14 years in prison. Lee fired two shots, but neither hit the players.
