Early Life and Education
Police responded to a home in Douglas County following an urgent 911 call Sunday evening and found a woman covered in blood trying to escape from a 39-year-old male with a knife inside. When deputies gave verbal orders for him to drop the weapon, he charged at them instead and was shot. He died at the scene while she was transported with multiple stab wounds to a local hospital for treatment.
Benjamin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth of seventeen children born to Josiah Franklin, an chandler. Due to a lack of funds for schooling he apprenticed himself to his brother James Franklin who ran a printery newspaper that encouraged readers to send in letters. James encouraged Benjamin to pen 14 essays lampooning everything from funeral eulogies and Harvard students as part of an essay series published through James’ newspaper.
