FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT/Gray News) - A parent of a Kentucky State University student has been charged with murder in a campus shooting that killed one student and critically injured another, according to police.
Police said 48-year-old Jacob Lee Bard is accused of shooting two students at the Whitney M. Young Jr. Residence Hall following “a physical altercation” on Tuesday.
Bard is charged with murder and first-degree assault.
The Associated Press reported that when asked about whether alleged videos showing a fight involving Bard’s sons preceded the shooting, or whether Bard might have come to campus to talk to administrators about his sons’ safety, Frankfort Assistant Police Chief Scott Tracy refused to say what may have led to the shooting.
The Franklin County Coroner’s Office identified the deceased victim as 19-year-old De’Jon Darrell Fox Jr. The other victim has not been identified and is in critical condition.
Bard’s relationship with the victims is unclear at this time.
