Jacob Bard Cleared in Kentucky State University Shooting Case

A man named Jacob Bard was accused of shooting someone at Kentucky State University.

A group of people called a grand jury decided he didn't do anything wrong.

Bard's lawyers said he did it to protect his son.

They explained that Bard's son had been in some bad situations before, like someone breaking into his room and people threatening him.

The lawyers also said that Bard's son and his friends were hurt by a group of people a few days before the shooting.

The day before the shooting, Bard's son was attacked again by a bigger group with weapons like baseball bats.

So, Bard's lawyers believe he was just trying to keep his son safe.
