Accused Dixon School shooter Matthew Milby is being considered unfit to stand trial. The former Dixon student was deemed unfit in March, then fit for trial in September before yesterday’s decision to send Milby to get mental health help. Milby pleaded not guilty in May 2018 to the shooting inside Dixon High School. Only Milby was hurt when he was shot by a resource officer. He faces several charges, including attempted murder. He will return to court March 17th.
