8-month-old killed, 2-year-old severely burned in Southern Kentucky house fire on Monday, KSP reports
TOMPKINSVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — Kentucky State Police say that an eight-month-old is dead, and a two-year-old has been left with severe burns after a house fire on West Sixth Street in Tompkinsville, Kentucky, on Monday.
According to a release, 25-year-old Ashton Wright was asleep when she woke up to her house full of smoke. Wright had two children in the house at the time of the fire, and with
the help of a neighbor, they were able to get one child out of the house but could not reach the other.
Firefighters then got into the house, where they found the body of the eight-month-old, the release states.
KSP says that the two-year-old was taken to the hospital for treatment of severe burns.
The fire is believed to have originated from an electric space heater, but the investigation is still ongoing, according to the release.
KSP Post 15 in Columbia got a call from the Monroe 911 Center on Monday at 1:07 p.m. requesting investigative assistance in the matter.
Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
