One person is dead and another was critically wounded in a shooting at Kentucky State University Tuesday.
A suspect, identified as Jacob Lee Bard, 48, of Evansville, Indiana, is in custody. He is charged with murder and assault.
The attack took place shortly after 3 p.m. at the Frankfort campus. The Louisville Courier Journal reported he is the father of two baseball players at the school, although it was unclear why he was on campus Tuesday.
The deceased was identified as De’Jon Darrell Fox, Jr., 19, a student from Indianapolis. Another student was wounded and was described as being in critical but stable condition at a local hospital, but no identity was released.
Gov. Andy Beshear said more information will be released as it becomes available. “Let’s pray for all those affected,” he wrote on social media.
Beshear also posted that it “appears to be an isolated incident – not a mass shooting.”
