Woman Shoots Others, Self at Louisiana Technical College

BATON ROUGE, La. — Baton Rouge police say a young woman killed two female students at Louisiana Technical College, then killed herself.

Sergeant Don Kelly said police don't know the women's names or ages, or whether the killer was also a student at the school.

He said the first two women killed apparently were in their seats in the second-floor classroom.

The incident occurred shortly after 8:30 a.m.

Kelly says Baton Rouge police got many cell phone calls saying people had been shot.

2 multiple shootings in one day on the news. Why are people flipping out so much in America?

This is sad and my heart goes out to the family of the victims.

True. Yesterdays shooting in Missouri was done by a black guy. That breaks the flip-out mass murderer mold as well.

No more FBI profile of the middle-aged white male I guess.

Something strange is definitely going on. Something is making all these people do these out of the ordinary things. I'm wondering if any of these people have a history of mental illness and if they don't then a Red flag should definitely be thrown up.

3 people shot .. one being a suicide.. is not a "mass killing". . and I would bet the victim and killer knew eachother.

"mass killing"

Violence begets violence. Plain and simple. You tell people its ok to kill to get what they want . And thats what they will do .

Ok, what number constitutes a mass killing? Maybe I used the word mass incorrectly but I thought 3 or more were considered mass.

Frantz Dieudonne on the bottom left. What does that have to do with anything?

When the dust settles on this one, I have a feeling we'll find that this particular instance was not random and that they all knew each other. Its getting national media exposure because it happened on a college campus.

Ok I changed it to multiple.
I don't want to blow it out of proportion or over exaggerate.
Goodness knows we have enough of that in the media already.

My apologies.

Have you got some stats to back that up?

I agree, I think this female had a agenda and she flipped on the two people that was killed. I highly doubt it was random.

Well said

I would have left it at well said but earlier today I had to take a phone call and accidentally clicked submit on a topic and got docked 20 points for it as they claim it was a one liner

I have requested my points back and explained what happened but I have not seen response yet how governmental of the Moderators hear no evil speak no evil...

Officers ran into the building within four minutes of the first 911 call, which came at 8:36 a.m., he said.


"There was mass pandemonium, people running," Kelly said. "One officer -- the first into the classroom -- told me he could still smell gunpowder."


The students' names and ages were not immediately released, and it was not clear whether the shooter also was a student.


The school offers classes in a dozen subjects including early childhood education, practical nursing, drafting and welding.

Here is a source I found that elaborates a little more on what happened.

Browsing the FBI's historical data on murders and murder rates, we've actually been a little below average in recent years compared to the previous 35-40 as a whole. In fact, if there's a trend, based on that data it seems that murders are higher during economic recessions and usually peak during the worst years. And that makes sense. If you've got a stressed out populace that can't keep food on the table or a roof over their family's head, a few of them inevitably are going to snap.

That's probably not the root cause here, however.

I see the point that she may have targeted these two other students because of a possible vendetta but, going to a college,workplace,post office and shooting people is not normal behavior.I would venture to guess that many of these people have no criminal background.All these violent acts are bringing to mind some aspects of the movie The Manchurian Candidate.
