Shooting Motive Still Being Sought

While investigators still don't know why 23-year-old Latina Williams opened fire at a vocational college in Baton Rouge last Friday, they have learned more about her background. Williams shot and killed two female students as they sat at their desks in a second-floor classroom of Louisiana Technical College and then fatally shot herself with a 357-revolver she had purchased, along with a box of ammunition, the day before at a New Orleans pawn shop. Police Sergeant Don Kelly says Williams had had little contact with her family in Mississippi over the past two-years, was apparently living out of her car and had displayed recent signs of paranoia. Kelly says detectives believe Williams called a crisis counselor the day of the shootings indicating she planned to take her own life.

The attorney describes the "fight" as a ``little push and shove'' incident and no punches were thrown.
