There was a moment of silence for the victims of the Marshall County High School shooting before the University of Kentucky’s basketball game against Mississippi State in Rupp Arena on Tuesday night.

Two students, both 15 years old, were killed in the shooting at the Western Kentucky high school Tuesday morning. Twelve others were wounded, and five more students were treated for injuries but were not shot, according to police.

A suspect, also 15 years old, was arrested at the school. He will be charged with two counts of murder and multiple counts of attempted murder, said Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rick Sanders.
