Kentucky State Police say 43-year-old Sheriff Mickey Stines shot and killed 54-year-old District Judge Kevin Mullins inside the courthouse Thursday afternoon. Circuit Court Clerk Mike Watts said he’s still struggling to understand what happened, as he saw both men eat lunch together just a few hours earlier.

A Kentucky State Police spokesman said shots were fired inside the Letcher County Courthouse at 2:55 p.m. after an argument between Stines and Mullins. Mullins was pronounced dead at the scene. Here's a look at a few statements about the shooting on social media.
