Cox held the gun to one student when the teacher doubted Cox would cause harm and stated that he would prove it to her. At that time three students escaped out a rear door and were fired upon. Cox was later tackled and disarmed by another student. A friend of Cox's told the press that Cox had been inspired by the Kuwait Airways Flight 422 hijacking and by the novel Rage , [8] which Cox had read over and over again and with which he strongly identified. [9] He pleaded no contest to charges of kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon after the jury deadlocked. [10] He was sentenced to five years in prison. [11]
