On the morning of November 13th, tragedy struck the Louisiana Tech campus. Four people had been stabbed in what was described as a "random act of violence" by the university officials. Jacoby Johnson, a senior at Louisiana Tech, was arrested shortly after fleeing the scene. Police Chief Randal Hermes stated that the attack seemed to be unplanned and the victims were reportedly former 3rd District Judge Cynthia Woodard, artist Annie Richardson, retired teacher Debby Hollimon, and Louisiana Tech graduate student Dominique McKane.
The incident sent shockwaves throughout the Ruston community, prompting Ruston Mayor Ronny Walker to call a joint press conference with the police chief. Chief Steve Rogers reported that Johnson had been in contact with police officers about a week prior to the attack, though the incident was not criminal. He was reported to be in good condition at the time.
When the news of the attack reached Louisiana Tech President Les Guice, he released a statement expressing his condolences to those affected by the violence. He also encouraged the Tech community to rely on one another during the time of grief and healing.
This incident is a stark reminder of the importance of safety and security. Our thoughts go out to the victims and their families.
