Man Accused Of Shooting Principal Back In Court

PLACERVILLE (CBS13) – The man accused of killing a Placerville elementary school principal was back in court this morning.

Today's court appearance for  44-year-old John Luebbers,  who is accused of shooting Schnell School principal Sam LaCara back in February, was very short. 

Luebbers didn't even sit down in court, instead just stood with his public defender.

The judge set a new date for a pre-trial hearing on May 5.

Police say Luebbers admitted to shooting LaCara in the principal's office at the school after believing he had been fired.
