April 12 UPDATE:

Cardwell “is to be released to his parents after posting a $250,000 secured bond,” as reported by the Watauga Democrat. Additionally, he has to reside with his parents, and his attorney will have to contact the court weekly to ensure he is still with them. He also cannot have any contact with the victim or the victim’s family, cannot possess any firearms or dangerous weapons during the pretrial release period and is not to be in Watauga County without his attorney and must have the sheriff’s notification.
In an email sent out to students, faculty and staff Friday, Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor Heather Norris wrote, “Our thoughts are with the injured student and everyone who was affected.”
