“It was one right after another — bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,” she added. Authorities did not identify the gunman responsible for the nation’s first fatal school shooting of 2018, nor did they release any details about a motive. “He was apprehended by the sheriff’s department here on site, at the school, thankfully before any more lives could be taken,” Webb said. Seventeen students were injured, 12 of them hit with bullets and five others hurt in the scramble as hundreds of students fled for their lives from Marshall County High School. Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and several people in Benton said they couldn’t believe a mass shooting would happen in their small, close-knit town.
