- Jeremy Demar, 35, allegedly killed two soldiers near Fort Campbell Army post

Two soldiers have been killed and a teenager was injured following a domestic dispute near the Fort Campbell Army post on the Kentucky-Tennessee line.
Kentucky State Police say it appears 35-year-old Jeremy Demar of Clarksville, Tennessee, was in a domestic dispute with his wife and found her at a home on Arkansas Avenue in Oak Grove, Kentucky.
Police say he forced his way in to the home around 7.30pm Thursday evening and fatally shot a man and a woman, who were both soldiers. Their names have not yet been released.
Demar fled with his two-year-old daughter after the shooting. She was found unharmed when police apprehended him in Clarksville and took him into custody.
Police say a 16-year-old was in the home at the time and received minor injuries in a confrontation with Demar, and was treated at Tennova Healthcare Hospital.
Demar was arrested at his Union Lane home around 9.40pm on Thursday a few hours after the incident occurred.
Kentucky Trooper Sean Wint said Friday charges are pending. Demar is being held at the Montgomery County Jail, on a $250,000 bond and records do not indicate whether he has an attorney.
