Daniel Ferguson, jailed since his arrest Sept. 29, was expected to be released today after a judge reviewed a psychological examination that said the suspect was not a threat to the community.

No one was hurt in the incident and Ferguson, a DHS junior, was expelled.

As part of his probation, acting Judge Richard Glasson ordered Ferguson to undergo counseling and stay away from 10 students who were in the prayer group.
