Professor’s “Double Life” Revealed: Self-Defense Ruling in Fatal Shooting of MTSU Sociologist
Posted By Brandon Curtis
DEKALB COUNTY, TN — A four-month investigation into the death of a prominent sociology professor has concluded with a sobering look into a “double life” fueled by narcotics and extreme paranoia. On April 1, 2026, District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway released the final report regarding the December 4, 2025, shooting of 41-year-old Ashleigh E. McKinzie. The report confirms that the shooter, 27-year-old Todd Stanton, acted in justifiable self-defense when he fired through his windshield to stop a masked, armed woman from boarding his truck.The incident began at 4:47 a.m. as Stanton was driving to work. Surveillance footage from a nearby home captured McKinzie—dressed in coveralls and a plastic skull mask—stepping into the roadway and using hand gestures to stop Stanton’s vehicle. As she “speed walked” toward the truck with a cocked .380 caliber handgun aimed at him, Stanton retrieved his own firearm and fired several rounds through his windshield.
While McKinzie was known to students and colleagues as an MTSU sociology professor, the TBI investigation uncovered a different reality. A longtime friend told investigators that McKinzie had been “strung out” on heavy drugs for over a year, frequently using methamphetamine, cocaine, and mushrooms.
This account was tragically corroborated by the Medical Examiner’s toxicology report, which found toxic levels of Methamphetamine (2300 ng/ml) and amphetamines in her system at the time of her death. These levels are consistent with extreme paranoia and auditory hallucinations—symptoms her current boyfriend noted had worsened in the weeks leading up to the shooting.

Gotta ask…..drug using destroys part of the brain. Does that then make it equivalent to a male brain?
Drug using fuzzy brain is well suited to teaching sociology fuzzy science.
Sociology-one of those degrees that doesn’t get you very far in a practical, real world sense, but will go a long way to nabbing a swell gubmint job. I should know, I majored in it for a short time.
185ng/ml is considered impaired in many states for driving and will likely result in a DUI conviction. A concentration over 1500 could cause a heart attack and be fatal. Throw a little coke and some shrooms in there and she was a walking heart attack or death by misadventure waiting to happen.
I think we can universally agree that running up on someone at four in the morning wearing a death mask and carrying pistol in their hand will result in a negative outcome for the offender every single time.
I’m surprised he didn’t have to use silver bullets on this broad.
If she was that far gone on that date, how the heck did her symptoms not show up in front of the students and faculty before she got capped?
That is one heck of a cocktail to be on and have a “normal” daily appearance and function.
I used to wonder how Bill Clinton got by from one day to the next. Probably helps to have a government funded physician at your service.
A BJ, cigar and nap after lunch?
Forget Clinton, Biden was reported to sleep 12 hours a night and take a two hour nap every day. He should have been in a nursing home. “Worked” 0900-1200 and 1500-1900 every day and it was too much for him.
