Huntersville Police Officer Odette Saglimbeni told the media that authorities had been called to the Ogle’s home around 8 a.m. after a family member said that Michael Ogle was dead inside the house. The family member had gone to the home after Michael Ogle failed to show up for work.

Saglimbeni said that Emma Ogle was also inside, barricaded and armed. A massive law enforcement response ensued, including Mecklenburg Medic and the North Mecklenburg SWAT team as well as hostage negotiators. While local schools were also placed on lockdown.

Saglimbeni said in the press conference, “Once our SWAT was able to gain entry into the home they did locate two deceased parties inside the residence and they were of Emma Ogle and Michael Ogle; they did suffer from gunshot wounds.” The officer added, “It’s a very unfortunate situation. It’s not a very common thing that we see here in Huntersville so when it happens it’s shocking.”

5. It’s Texas that Leads the Way in Prosecuting Teachers Accused of Abusing Students

In November 2016, Texas State Representative Tony Dale sought to pass legislation that would prevent, as Dale says, teachers merely resigning and moving. Dale said of his legislation, “HB 218 increases penalties and close loopholes that allow educators who engage in inappropriate relationships to resign and obtain employment in another district. This bill seeks to allow Texas the tools we need to get rid of teachers who prey on our children.”
