A 9-year-old Kentucky boy who died in floodwaters while walking to catch his school bus is being remembered by his teacher as the “sweetest, kindest boy.”

The death of Gabriel Andrews stunned residents in the Bluegrass State’s capital city. The boy was caught in floodwaters early Friday while walking to the bus stop, police said. After an extensive search, his body was found about two hours after police were notified.

Gabriel’s death sparked questions from some who wondered why the Franklin County school district chose not to cancel in-person classes Friday when strong storms produced flash flooding.
