Another high school has turned into a scene of carnage, this time in western Kentucky.
Fourteen people were wounded, two of them fatally, after a shooter opened fire Tuesday morning at Marshall County High School, Gov. Matt Bevin said at a news conference. Another five people sustained other injuries.
A 15-year-old male student was arrested at the scene and will be charged with murder and attempted murder, Bevin said.
The slain victims were a boy and a girl, both 15 years old. The girl died at the scene and the boy died at a hospital, State Police Commissioner Richard W.
Sanders said. The conditions of the injured students were not immediately known. Sanders said the suspect, armed with a handgun, walked into the school at 8:57 a.m. ET and started shooting.
There was another shooting just the day before in Texas, also with a handgun, that fortunately did not result in any fatalities.

An Italy Independent School District employee confronted a 16-year-old after he opened fire on a teenage girl in the cafeteria at Italy High School on Monday morning, stopping the attack and prompting the gunman to run from the scene, authorities said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Ellis County Sheriff Chuck Edge said the unidentified employee, "did an amazing job in stopping that situation."
Deputies responded to reports of the shooting just before 8 a.m., as students were gathered in the cafeteria for breakfast service, officials said. Italy Independent School District Superintendent Lee Joffre said there are typically 45-55 students in the cafeteria for breakfast, although he was unsure of the exact number of students inside when shots rang out Monday.
Edge said a 16-year-old male student, whose name was not immediately released, fired several shots from a semi-automatic .380 handgun.
"That handgun was recovered from the scene and is in evidence," Edge said.
Later the 16 year old was taken into custody and it was determined that the young man and his victim had been in a relationship.
Just a reminder that killers do not necessarily need AR-15s to maim or kill multiple victims.
When these events took place under President Obama's watch you could see the emotional toll it took on him, and how he struggled to find a way to keep our schoolchildren safe.
Somehow I just do not see Adolph Twitler bothering to even bat an eye over this.
