A college professor was found dead in a roadway near her home in Tennessee last week, with her own loaded gun beside her as an armed man waited nearby for police to arrive.
Ashleigh McKinzie, a 41-year-old sociology professor at Middle Tennessee State University, sustained multiple gunshot wounds before her body was recovered lying on a highway near her home in Smithville, Tenn., in the early morning hours of Dec. 4, according to the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office.
Officers with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office found McKinzie’s loaded and cocked gun beside her body.
Todd Stanton, 27, was waiting at the scene with his gun placed on the hood of his truck, District Attorney Bryant Dunaway wrote on Facebook.
