Teen pleads guilty in CTA bus shooting

A Chicago teen has pleaded guilty in the fatal shooting of a boy aboard a city bus as he tried to shield a classmate.

The Cook County state's attorney's office says 17-year-old Kevin Jones pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy to commit murder in the 2007 death of Blair Holt.

He's been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Both Jones and another teen, Michael Pace, had been charged as adults with first-degree murder, attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm.

Jones allegedly supplied Pace with the semiautomatic weapon used in the shooting.

Pace is accused of walking onto a Chicago Transit Authority bus and opening fire, injuring four Julian High School students and killing the 15-year-old Holt as he tried to protect a teenage girl.
