Girl’s 911 call as dad killed by car helps

Third-degree felony charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and reckless homicide were filed against her hours later. New details emerged about the case Tuesday when the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office released the Lukes’ 12-year-old daughter’s 911 call.

The dispatcher asked again whether her father had ever been violent before.

The tragic turn of events started Sunday night. On Wednesday, the district agreed to pay her during the suspension after reviewing the 911 call. Luke ran over her husband trying to get away, and in the call the girl says he was hanging on to the window and fell.

Witnesses at the scene told the dispatcher that Daniel Luke was bleeding from his ear.

“It’s compelling enough that it allowed the superintendent to make a decision that she thought was the right decision for Mrs. Luke and the district”, district spokesman David Ball said.

Support for a Tussing Elementary school teacher, who was fleeing from a domestic violence attack when she hit her husband with her vehicle, continues to grow. The charges could still go before a grand jury or get refiled, according to the local newspaper. My father’s dead! My father’s dead!

Pickerington Superintendent Valerie Browning-Thompson originally had placed Luke on unpaid administrative leave, which meant she and her daughters would also lose their health insurance at the end of the month, Luke’s attorney, Jonathan Tyack has said.

An email was sent to parents saying that it was up to them to tell their children what happened to their teacher, but that counselors would be available at the school if needed, the Columbus Dispatch reports. I’d like to call for an immediate removal of the prosecutor in Fairfield county, his clear lack of good judgement shows a direct liability to any case he may be involved with. It does not appear that he or his wife had a criminal record.

During a brief telephone interview Oct. 8, Tyack said Luke is recovering from minor physical injuries, and he declined to discuss what led to the Oct. 4 incident.
