Police say a domestic dispute led to a shooting on a Kentucky college campus that killed two people and wounded a third.

A man, a woman and a 12-year-old girl were shot Tuesday night in a parking lot at Hazard Community and Technical College. The adults were killed and the girl was taken to a hospital, where police said she remains in critical condition.

Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen said the shooting appears to be the result of a dispute between the woman and the alleged shooter, who had a child together.

Allen said Dalton Stidham, 21, was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

Allen identified the victims as Caitlin Cornett, 20, and her uncle, Jackie Cornett, 53. The juvenile's name wasn't released.

According to media reports, two people have turned themselves into police in connection with the shooting at Hazard Community and Technical College.




Authorities say two people were shot and killed and a teen wounded in the parking lot of an eastern Kentucky community college.

A police dispatcher told The Associated Press the shooting happened Tuesday afternoon at Hazard Community & Technical college in Hazard, Ky. The dispatcher spoke on condition of anonymity because the coroner on site was the only official allowed to be quoted by name.

The dispatcher said the injured teen was being taken to the University of Kentucky hospital.

Conor Duff is the college's evening coordinator. Duff said the shootings happened about 4:30 p.m. at the campus 90 miles southeast of Lexington. Duff said police then went through the school's two buildings to ensure no one else was at risk.
Duff said the school was on lockdown.

The Hazard Community and Technical College is on lockdown after a shooting.

It happened just before 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Our sister station, WTVQ in Lexington, is reporting three people have been shot. Their conditions are unknown at this time.
