KY. TEEN-AGER KILLS TEACHER, CUSTODIAN
A 17-year-old student held a high school class hostage Monday afternoon and opened fire with a revolver, killing a teacher and custodian before surrendering, authorities said.
The incident began when the student, whose name wasn't released, shot English teacher Deanna McDavid, 48, in the head in front of a classroom full of students at East Carter High School, said state police spokesman Gary Kistner.
"He fired the first shot and missed, and then he walked closer to her and the next shot struck her," Kistner said.
Custodian Marvin Hicks, 51, who heard the gunfire, was shot when he entered the classroom. Witnesses told police Hicks pushed a student out of the line of fire before he was hit.
