President of the University of Idaho, Mark Hensley, mourned Wednesday’s loss of four students who were killed in their home close to the school.
President Scott Green was joined Wednesday afternoon by Dean of Students Blaine Eccles and Provost Tory Lawrence during a press conference. They shared details about the quadruple homicides of Ethan Chapin (20); Xana Kernodle (20); Madison Mogen (21); and Kaylee Goncalves (21).
“This crime and the loss these young lives are just beyond comprehension. These are not isolated incidents in our small community. Green stated that this is not something our small campus is used to dealing in.
