A 17-year-old who pleaded guilty to attempted murder will be sentenced Friday in Prince George’s County. The teenager, known by his rap name "Baby K," attempted to shoot another student at least three times on a school bus last year, but the gun jammed.

Holland and his accomplices went into hiding in Washington, D.C., and it took several weeks for authorities to capture them. During a hearing to keep the case in adult court, prosecutors argued that Holland had prior weapons charges, failed to follow through on his probation, and had been the aggressor in three fights since his arrest.
