A former University of Louisville student charged in the shooting deaths of her two children will stand trial in January 2010.

The Courier-Journal reported today that prosecutors expect the murder trial of Gail Coontz to last about three weeks.

Coontz is accused of killing her 14-year-old son Greg and her ten-year-old daughter Nikki in the family's Okolona home on March 27.

Police said she then went to the University Counseling Center and held a counselor at gunpoint.

Coontz has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, one of terroristic threatening and evidence tampering.
