All sorts of things could happen. Anything from nothing at all to a minor slap on the wrist ("don't do that again") to probation to suspension from school to detention for a significant amount of time in a juvenile detention facility. At 15, it's not even out of the question for him to be charged as an adult and serve time in jail. Without more details, it's impossible to say what's going to happen.

You need to get him an attorney ASAP who will be able to assess the situation and take action.
