===Aftermath=== Following his arrest, Ramsey claimed he did not understand his actions would kill anyone.<ref>[https://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=5040342&page=1 School shooter: "I didn't realize they would die"], ''ABC News''</ref> His trial was delayed as prosecutors discussed whether Ramsey should be tried as a juvenile or as an adult. Prosecutors decided to try Ramsey as an adult in Anchorage. On December 2, 1998, Ramsey was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, three counts of first-degree attempted murder, and fifteen counts of third-degree assault. Judge Mark Isaac Wood sentenced him to 210 years in prison; on appeal, however, his sentence was reduced to two 99-year prison sentences. He was initially imprisoned at the Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward before being moved to the Wildwood Correctional Complex around 2017, and will be eligible for parole in 2066, when he will be 85 years old.<ref>[https://www.alaskapublic.org/2017/02/22/20-years-after-the-bethel-school-shooting/ Twenty years after the Bethel School shooting], ''Alaska Public''</ref> On February 15, 2006, Ramsey participated in an interview with Anderson Cooper titled ''In the Mind of a Killer'', in which his father Don Ramsey blamed the video game Doom for the shooting. His crime was also profiled on the Court TV series ''Anatomy of a Crime''. Ramsey's actions were also covered in the program ''Kids Who Kill'' which also featured interviews with Ramsey.
