GOLDEN, COLO. -- The man accused of shooting and wounding two Colorado eighth-graders outside their school on Feb. 23 is expected to be in court to enter a plea.

Thirty-two-year-old Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood is scheduled to appear in Jefferson County District Court on Monday.

He faces 15 charges, including attempted first-degree murder in the shootings outside Deer Creek Middle School in south suburban Denver.

Teachers tackled and restrained Eastwood until deputies arrived.

Defense attorneys have said they are investigating what role psychosis and mental illness played in the case.

Eastwood told an investigator he woke up feeling angry, violent and "transformed upon" before he went to the middle school, which he said he attended in the early 1990s.
