K is for Kentucky, Marshall Co. High School

I am blogging this month on mass shootings in America: remember the victims.  This is part of the A to Z challenge.

Some information here is from Wikipedia, some from a CNN article about this shooting.

The Marshall County High School shooting occurred at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky, on January 23, 2018. As students were gathering in an open area prior to the start of classes, a 15-year-old student opened fire with a 9mm Ruger handgun, killing one 15-year-old at the scene, and wounding another who died at a nearby hospital. Eighteen other people were injured, fourteen by bullets and three critically.  Others were hurt trying to escape.  This shooting is still so recent that the Wikipedia page is very short, and hasn't been updated.

Killed:
Bailey Holt, 15
Preston Cope, 15

I do not have the names of the injured.
