GREENVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Dozens of students, faculty and staff are attending counseling sessions at Delta State University in Mississippi today, after one of the school’s instructors was accused of fatally shooting a colleague on campus.
The university’s president is encouraging students to return to campus, a day after officials say geography instructor Shannon Lamb shot history professor Ethan Schmidt in Schmidt’s on-campus office. Lamb is also accused of killing his girlfriend at their home 300 miles away. He killed himself as police closed in on him.
