Louis Jourdain has been sentenced to spend no more than one year at a private treatment facility for children for exchanging threatening messages with the gunman of last year's shootings on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, sources said.
Jourdain, 17, admits he exchanged threatening messages with Jeff Weise before the shootings last March on the Red Lake Indian Reservation.
Weise killed nine people before killing himself.
Jourdain's sentencing Friday morning at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis was closed to the public because Jourdain is a juvenile.
The toughest sentence the teenager could have received was confinement until he turns 21. He has already spent 10 months in custody.
If he would have been charged as an adult, Jourdain could have received up to five years in prison for threatening interstate communications.
As part of a plea deal, a charge of conspiracy to commit murder was dropped.
