“It is with deep sadness that I must share about the shooting that took place on Kentucky State’s campus this afternoon," Franklin County Judge/Executive Michael Mueller said in a written statement. "I am proud of the combined law enforcement response that brought the suspect quickly into custody. ... I ask that we join as a community during this time. Please pray for the victims, their families, the students and faculty as they deal with their profound grief."
