Judge Awards Over $36 Million to Victims of a Deadly High School Shooting in Kentucky

A Western Kentucky circuit court judge has awarded more than $36 million in damages to some of the victims of the deadly 2018 Marshall County High School shooting.

Several plaintiffs — including the family of Bailey Holt, one of two students who was killed in the incident — filed a lawsuit in 2019 seeking damages from the shooter, Gabe Parker, and his mother and stepfather. The other plaintiffs in the suit include Dalton Keeling, Mary Bella James and Gabe Smock.

Trent Lovett, the former superintendent of Marshall County Public Schools, was also initially named as a defendant in the lawsuit, but was later granted qualified immunity.
