Several Kent State University students who were studying at the Paris American Academy in Paris are currently on their way home after an explosion occurred in the building where the academy is located on Wednesday. Some of the students have decided to stay in Europe.
The nine students had been there since June 1, and were due to come home at the end of the month. None of the students were in the building when the explosion occurred. Kent State Senior Vice President and Provost Melody Tankersley spoke to WJW-Fox 8 about the explosion.
