Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin said Tuesday afternoon that a 15-year-old boy shot 14 people Tuesday morning at a southwestern Kentucky high school.

Two of the victims, a 15-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl, died from their wounds in the shooting.

Five others suffered non-gunshot injuries, the governor said.

The suspect in the incident at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky, has been apprehended, according to officials with Marshall County Emergency Management.

Kentucky State Police Commissioner Richard Sanders said during  a press conference Tuesday afternoon that the suspect entered the school at 7:57 a.m. and soon opened fire with a handgun.

Sanders said the first 911 call came in two minutes later, and police were on scene by 8:06 a.m.

A Marshall County deputy apprehended the shooter. One of the two deceased victims, the 15-year-old girl, died at the scene, Bevin said during the press conference.

The other deceased victim passed away at a hospital.

The suspect is a 15-year-old student and police say he will be tried as a n adult.

Nearly 100 children ran out of Marshall County High School seeking safety, said Mitchell Garland, who rushed outside of his business when he heard about the shooting.

“They was running and crying and screaming,” Garland told the Associated Press. “They was just kids running down the highway. They were trying to get out of there.”

A half-dozen ambulances and numerous police cars converged on the school.

Officers in black fatigues carrying assault rifles showed up as well. Federal authorities also responded, and Gov. Matt Bevin ran out of the Capitol to rush to the school.

Parents left their cars on both sides of an adjacent road, desperately trying to find their children.

“This is a tremendous tragedy and speaks to the heartbreak present in our communities,” Bevin said in a statement released on Twitter. “It is unbelievable that this would happen in a small, close-knit community like Marshall County. As there is still much unknown, I encourage people to love on each other at this time. Do not speculate, but come alongside each other in support and allow the facts to come out.”

Yesterday the Indiana State Police were called to investigate the discovery of two suspected improvised explosive devices in Marshall County.  Both were found in mail boxes and nobody was injured. 

The first improvised explosive device was found in the 3000 block of Olive Road yesterday morning.  It was discovered when the homeowner went to get their mail and saw that the mailbox was damaged. 

The second was located in the 14000 block of 3rd Road.  This discovery was made by a mail carrier and did not detonate. 

The public is reminded if they find a suspected improvised explosive device or pipe bomb, do not touch or move it.  If you open your mailbox, leave it open and get out of the area and call 911. 

If anyone has information on either of these devices, call the Indiana State Police Bremen Post at 574-546-4900 and speak to Trooper Michael Gruett or Trooper Brian Hoffman. 

Indiana State Police EOD Hazardous Device Technician Trooper Derek Fisher assisted with recovery of both devices.  United States Postal Inspector Brock Zeeb is also involved with the investigation.

Josh J. Minkler, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, announced today that Rene A. Boucher, 58, Bowling Green, Kentucky, has been charged with assaulting a Rand Paul, a member of congress resulting in personal injury, a felony under federal
law.

Boucher faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000.

Boucher signed a plea agreement, but no court day has been set for sentencing.

“Assaulting a member of Congress is an offense we take very seriously,” said Minkler.
“Those who choose to commit such an act will be held accountable.”

According to court documents, Boucher and the Paul are neighbors in Bowling Green,
Kentucky.

On November 3, 2017, the victim was mowing his yard while wearing headphones.

Boucher allegedly witnessed the victim stack brush onto a pile near the victim’s property and “had enough.”

Boucher ran onto Paul’s property and tackled him.

As a result of this assault, Paul suffered multiple fractured ribs and subsequently contracted and required medical attention for pneumonia.

Boucher admitted the assault but denied it was politically motivated.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana was assigned the
case following the recusal of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of
Kentucky where the offense is alleged to have been committed.

Boucher has signed a plea agreement but no date has been set for the taking of his guilty
plea and the imposition of sentence.

This case was investigated by the Louisville office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

“Just as we are committed to protecting the American people, the FBI will not tolerate
violence directed against members of Congress,” said Special Agent in Charge Amy S. Hess of the FBI’s Louisville field office. “Those who choose to assault any federal official are certain to face serious consequences.”

No future court dates have been set.

According to Assistant United States Attorney Bradley P. Shepard of the United States
Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana who is prosecuting this case as a Special Attorney to the United States Attorney General, Boucher faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment anda fine of up to $250,000.
