New York : Within 12 hours of a gunman, with a grudge, killing five before being killed by the police in Missouri, a female student Friday shot dead two fellow women students and then fatally shot herself inside a classroom in a Louisiana college.
The shootout was confined to a classroom of Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge, the CNN reported.
The motive of the shooter was not immediately known, nor her identity or those of her victims.
Earlier, a gunman – Charles Lee “Cookie” Thornton – in Kirkwood suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, Thursday night stormed a City Hall council meeting and shot dead three city officials, two policemen and wounded two more, including mayor Mike Swoboda.
The gunman, who had a history of acrimony against the civic officials, was shot dead by the police.
