Police reported another deadly incident at a college, this time at the Technical College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, ending in three deaths. A 23-year-old nursing student shot two women before committing suicide in front of the shocked classmates.

Witnesses reported no other victims besides the three following the Friday morning shootings. The shooter, Latina Williams, apparently entered the classroom for a short while and held a discussion with the instructor, and then left.

Just moments later the woman returned through another entrance in the room with a .357 revolver and shot 21-year-old Karsheika Graves and 26-year-old Taneshia Butler, without any known reason. The two women were shot in their chairs, and the attacker shot herself afterwards.

“It appears that one of the deceased is the actual shooter,” said Sgt. Don Kelly in a televised press conference. “She shot two other young women in the classroom, killing them before turning the gun on herself. She did not at any point leave the classroom; no other students outside of the classroom were involved or were in any danger.”

Police continues investigations in the case, and is trying to determine what the motive of the shooter could have been. Students in other classrooms have been interrogated by the police before being sent home for the rest of the day. Classes won’t be resumed until Wednesday.

This is just the last of a series of violent incidents that took place in educational institutions all across the United States. Out of them, the massacre at Virginia Tech that took place in April 2007 is the worst to be remembered, as 32 people were killed by a deluded student with a gun.

Hundreds of people die every month of gunshot, and that raises one question: How permissive should the gun-license laws be? One move in that direction was to restrict gun access for mentally deranged, a decision made in early January this year, the problem is that might not be enough, and further restrictions should be imposed.
