Senate Observes Moment of Silence for School Shooting Victims

Stu Johnson

A moment of silence was held Tuesday afternoon in the Kentucky Senate to recognize the loss of life and injuries in the Marshall County School shooting.

Two 15 year olds died and some 17 suffered various injuries in the early morning gunfire.  The shooter has been taken into custody. On the floor  Tuesday, Cadiz Senator Stan Humphries said at eight o clock in the morning at Marshall County High School “tragedy rang out.” “Unfortunately it’s something that we deal with in our society, but, somehow it strikes a different cord when it’s this close to home.”

Humphries went on to say there will be those who want to review policies.  The Trigg County senator said today is not that day, but instead a time for prayers and uplifting the families affected by the tragedy.
