His attorney requested to waive formal arraignment and put in a plea in on Dec. 16. No bail was set."
"According to charging documents released Monday, Irving had a handgun when he was arrested Friday. The documents also reveal that he admitted to shooting Beam with that gun. Coach Beam's murder was one of two school shootings last week. There was also a shooting at Skyline High School. That's why the DA says she is re-instituting mandatory minimum sentences as it relates to gun cases. The DA says the mandatory minimums will be higher for ghost guns."
