A Tennessee teacher was found dead Thursday morning inside his classroom at Munford High School from a self-inflicted gunshot, leaving a small community in shock.
Samuel Colin Day’s body was found around 6 a.m. — well before any students had arrived for classes.
The Munford Police Department responded to an “emergency” at the school, and found Day, 60, dead.
Officials said in a statement Day died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, students, and faculty affected by this heartbreaking event,” police said in a statement.
