Deputy Had to Make Sure High School Shooting Victim Wasn't His Daughter

Benton, Kentucky, is home to just 4,300 people, a size so small that nearly everybody has some kind of connection to Marshall County High School. The point was illustrated when one of the first deputies to arrive on the scene of Tuesday's school shooting came across the teenage girl who was killed and feared it was his daughter, who had just been dropped off. It wasn't, but "he had to go over to convince himself it was not his daughter," says Kentucky State Police Chief Rick Sanders, per the Lexington Herald-Leader.
