4 minute response time by the local PD... Not that it would have made any difference...

Damn, the nuts are everywhere...

4 minutes tho, that doesn't sound like a bad response time...

Why can't these whack jobs just jump off a bridge? Why must they take innocent people with them?

Woman shoots two in classroom, self at Louisiana Technical College

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) --- A young woman killed two female students in a college classroom at a vocational college Friday, then killed herself, police said.



The students apparently were shot in their seats in the second-floor classroom at Louisiana Technical College, Sgt. Don Kelly said.



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.



Students had to stay in their classrooms for about two hours before being released for the day, said Louis Davis. He said he was taking a test for an automobile technology class when a teacher "said to stay in the classroom because there's been an incident." Davis said



He said they were allowed to leave after a police officer asked them brief questions.



School administrators and campus police did not return calls or e-mails.

Just think how many rounds you can fire in 4 min.

It almost sounds like she went after these specific people, did what she felt she had to do and offed herself.

I would like to see some sort of followup with more details (reasons).

Too bad for the victims.

Who says they were completely innocent? Perhaps they had tormented her in some way. Stole a boyfriend etc... There's got to be some kind of history there between all involved.

I understand your point, but:

A- My point was in regards to people who commit murder/suicides in general. Usually it seems to be family members or coworkers who get killed.

B- Tormenting, stealing boyfriends, etc. does dot give someone the right to kill. There are other ways to get revenge besides murder.

C- Until further details are released, we are all speculating.

B. Could be true if she was mentally unstable, on / off meds or another substance that altered her thought process and rationalization(sp?).

I wonder how many people must die before students are aloud to protect themselves.
