Active Shooter at Delta State

[Really Clark?]

Don't know anything just received a text

ETA. One victim possibly no word on their condition.

[RichardHarrow]

Professor shot I'm told

[Really Clark?]

Saw that reported but unconfirmed.

[Liverpooldawg]

One victim is confirmed. No identity confirmation yet.

[starkvegasdawg]

Hearing one fatality confirmed.

[starkvegasdawg]

More people need to get an enhanced concealed carry permit. That will allow you to legally be armed on school campuses.

[Really Clark?]

I haven't heard that it was a fatality just that they were taken by ambulance and were indeed shot. Not saying what you are hearing is not true.

[Really Clark?]

Just saw it officially reported that the victim has died

[Liverpooldawg]

CL confirms one victim, a professor, is dead.

[Really Clark?]

Possible second shooter rumor tweeted by Boliver Commercial

[starkvegasdawg]

Aside from the confirmed fatality I am hearing unconfirmed reports of another shot and in critical condition and that this has possibly turned into a hostage situation.

[RichardHarrow]

Deleted for misinformation

[lefty96]

all news sources saying one professor in his office confirmed dead - nothing else. One would hope after all the crap flying around about the situation at MSU last month some people would hold off on the rumors.

[Maroon Diapers]

While true, university code still prohibits weapons on campus for students and faculty. So, they could not be arrested but expulsion or firing would be highly probable.

[Really Clark?]

I'm still not getting anything confirmed about a second shooter. Just rumors. They did identify the victim as Ethan Schmidt a history professor.

State law trumps university code. It'd be a helluva lawsuit.

Some reports that the shooter is connected to a murder in Gautier, and is a worker at Delta State, just a story I saw pop up on twitter....

If it could possibly save my life and the lives of countless others around me I'd be ok with getting fired or expelled.

Amen!

Other sources are also linking that story now as well.

I'm totally with you. But if you're 150k in the hole with student loans you're not gonna see students risk it. I never could get a straight answer from UMC admin when I was there with enhanced carry.

That means you could legally do it but they didn't want to admit it.

This doesn't make sesnse to me

"A Geography professor at Delta State University is accused of killing a woman in Gautier, Mississippi just after 10 a.m. on September 14. That shooting is believed to be linked to the shooting death of Professor Eric Schmidt at the college at 10:45 a.m. on the same day.. The suspect in the Gautier killing has been named as Shannon Lamb, 45. "

You can't get from Gautier to Cleveland in 45 minutes.

That link did miss the facts. We don't know when the victim was shot in Gautier just the shooter called it in at 10:20 am. He didn't shot her then. Allegedly.

He apparently called it in at 10 am but killed her last night maybe.

[Really Clark?]

Also this may be a love triangle deal according to some reports.

[Dental Dawg33]

Word I'm getting from a buddy that went to DSU is that the shooter was also faculty at DSU at one time and his wife (the woman killed in gautier) had an affair with the professor that was killed

Wouldn't be the first time nailing another guy's wife got somebody killed.

[Duckdog]

yep I'm hearing the same thing prof was having affair with mans wife he killed his wife then killed prof

[Really Clark?]

I don't think they were married. The shooter and the woman were just dating I believe and little info I see right now is he thought the victims were involved maybe?

State law trumps university code. It'd be a helluva lawsuit.

The law allows places of business and universities, etc to prohibit guns from their places of business.....I'm a huge gun rights guy, but there is no grounds for a lawsuit just because a university doesn't allow weapons on its campus.

He called the Wolf.

It's always one or more of these: Drugs, Sex, or Money.

[Dawg Corps]

He called the Wolf.

This comment will not get the credit it deserves.

How familiar are you with the ENHANCED carry permit?

[HailState39110]

they still haven't found this guy and you wouldn't think someone is going to house him to help him hide from authorities . I'm beginning to think he found a good hiding place in the delta woods and took his own life

[starkvegasdawg]

Reports coming in he has killed himself after a car chase not far from Cleveland. He's either dead or in custody.

[spudd21]

It happened north of Greenville in winterville on hwy 1. He shot himself before officers could approach.

[starkvegasdawg]

Good riddance.

[BeardoMSU]

It happened north of Greenville in winterville on hwy 1. He shot himself before officers could approach.

Was it at Winterville Mounds Park?

[TheRef]

Was it at Winterville Mounds Park?

Yeah...only place in Winterville, really, unless he shot himself over by the Fire Department.

Granted, there's a very small town just to the East of the mounds...

No way.

You know that little house on the park across the field from the museum? I grew up in that house.

[spudd21]

Actually was golden acres subdivision about a mile south of the mounds. He was on the hwy though.

Yup. My father was the park manager back when it was still ran by the Dept. of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks. When it was taken over by Archives and History, he was transferred to another park.

No, can't say I do. Did he live around there or something? We moved away back in the mid-90's.

His father has the farmland across Highway 1 from the park.

Ah, ok. I'm sure my dad knew his, though.

You go to Washington?

Small world, dude.
