A grand jury refused to indict Jacob Lee Bard over a December 9, 2025, shooting on the Kentucky State University campus.
Breitbart News reported that Bard was arrested after the December 9 shooting, which resulted in one person dead and another person injured.
Nineteen-year-old De’Jon Fox of Indianapolis was killed in the incident.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) reacted to news of the shooting as information unfolded:
NBC News noted that 48-year-old Bard “was arrested at the scene… and charged with murder and first-degree assault in connection with the shooting.”
However, the grand jury who weighed evidence in the case declined to indict Bard, after his attorney argued “he was justified in shooting two people who were beating his son.” Bard was on campus to help move his younger son move out because “multiple armed, violent” attacks had allegedly taken place.
