2 students have been killed and 16 injured in Benton, Kentucky. This number may change since some of the injured are in critical condition. A 15 year old entered the common grounds at the school and opened fire. He emptied his gun and threw it down as he took off running. Police apprehended him.
The shooter is 15 years old. He was arrested at the school. The Attorney of Marshall county said he will more than likely be charged as an adult.
Please pray for the families and friends of the dead and injured. Pray for all the students at this school. They are facing the aftermath of a horrific crime that adults have difficulty handling. If you do not pray, please keep everyone in your positive thoughts.
