Hearing that it was some older ladies who were leaving a water aerobics class.
It was - Judge Woodard was one of the one's stabbed
Luckily my mom didn't go this morning because she did feel like it...
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
I know some of those ladies. One that I know was still inside when they locked down.

A 23-year-old Louisiana Tech University student is in police custody for allegedly stabbing four people this morning as they were leaving classes at the university’s Lambright Sports & Wellness Center.
Jacoby Johnson, of Rayville, was apprehended without incident as he was heading south past West Alabama Avenue behind the J.C. Love baseball field, Louisiana Tech Police Chief Randal Hermes said.
The attack was random, Hermes said. The victims were attacked as they walked down the sidewalk on the east side of the intramural center near the outdoor swimming pool.
Johnson had reportedly been inside the building and ran out, encountering the victims in his path.
“It sounds like he ran up behind them and surprised them,” Hermes said.
As of late morning, Johnson had not been officially charged.
One of the victims was airlifted from the scene and taken to a Shreveport hospital. Two were taken to Northern Louisiana Medical Center where one was in surgery around midmorning. The fourth refused treatment, officials said.
At least three of victims are non-students from Ruston.
The investigation is continuing
Has anyone confirmed whether there was, in fact, a fatality? RDL says 4 injuries which would be good news. The larger press is running on what the Monroe paper initially published which was 1 dead and 3 injured.
Russell Woodard put a message on Facebook thanking people for prayers and respecting their privacy. No details.
Ruston Daily Leader on X/Twitter: LA TECH STABBING UPDATE: Contrary to some reports, per Tech Police Chief Randal Hermes, no victims in the stabbing incident at the Lambright Sports & Wellness Center have died as of 11:21 a.m.
Heard that Judge Woodard was stabilized at the scene and air lifted. One was stabilized with much difficulty and is now waiting air lift from NLMC. Other 2 apparently treated at the scene for minor scratches and scrapes.
The graduate student was the one who was airlifted -
Apparently Judge Woodard put a decent whoppin on the kid

I heard the other air lifted was Annie Richardson.
Was there a motive that anyones heard?

And other code words.
That was the name I first heard RUMORED (as well as being deceased) -
However the latest statement out of Tech only states the graduate student was airlifted
