RENO -- The 14-year-old accused of wounding two classmates in a shooting at a Reno middle school last week was ordered held in custody Monday at his hearing before a juvenile court judge.

The judge agreed with the prosecutor's claim that James Scott Newman is a danger to society and ordered the eighth-grader held at a youth detention center pending a psychiatric review.

Newman is being held on suspicion of two counts of battery with a deadly weapon and use of a firearm by a minor. He's accused of opening fire March 14 at Pine Middle School, where one boy was wounded in the arm and chest and a girl was grazed by a bullet that ricocheted off the floor. The boy was treated at a hospital and released the same day.

Newman's parents attended Monday's hearing in a small room in the juvenile detention center. The purpose of the hearing was to determine whether Newman should remain in custody. No plea was entered.

The district attorney's office has until the end of the week to file formal charges.

Washoe County Deputy District Attorney JoLee Wickes told Juvenile Court Master Janet Schmuck that Newman is a danger to society and should remain in custody. Wickes also asked the judge to order a psychological evaluation. She refused additional comment.

Tom Qualls, Newman's lawyer, did not oppose the prosecutor's recommendation to detain the teen, but asked to have the issue reconsidered after Newman is evaluated by a defense-hired psychologist for possible pretrial release.

Newman was booked last week as an adult on attempted murder charges, but Washoe District Attorney Richard Gammick announced Friday that he had determined the evidence did not support charging Newman as an adult.
