On the morning of December 1, 1997, 15-year-old Kayce Michelle Steger was among a group of Heath High School students gathered for a prayer circle in West Paducah, Kentucky. A fellow student, 14-year-old Michael Carneal, opened fire on the group. Kayce was fatally wounded; two other girls, Nicole Hadley, 14, and Jessica James, 17, were also killed and five students were injured.

Carneal was apprehended after the shooting and later confessed. Reports indicate the attack was premeditated and that he was sentenced for the crimes. The killings devastated the families and the Paducah community and left lasting emotional scars.

If anyone knew Kayce, her classmates, or has information about that morning, please share what you remember.
