Marshall County High School reopened Friday, just three days after a 15-year-old male student opened fire in the school, killing two and injuring 18 others. Security was tight at the high school and students were allowed to leave at will.
Scott and Beth Cosner’s twin sons were both injured in the attack, one was trampled during the chaos of the shooting, another was shot and airlifted to Vanderbilt Hospital.
“One went back today, one twin went back today. And Mason, he is going to be home for several weeks... he was shot in the head.”
Cosner said Mason is expected to make a full recovery. The Cosner's joined community members and the Governor in a ceremony declaring Sunday,‘A Day of Prayer for Marshall County.’
Western Kentucky Red Cross Executive Director Evenlyn Miller said her organization was at the school Thursday to offer support to parents.
"The school has counselors available for the students and the teachers and we can't forget the parents are struggling with this too."
Both Scott and Beth Cosner said their son who returned to school was hesitant at first.
"But once he got there it's gone really well."
