The other three victims, two of whom were taken to a hospital, were non-students. ... Photos taken by the Ruston Daily Leader showed an AirMed helicopter landing outside the college's football stadium.
The university identified the suspect as Jacoby Johnson, an LA Tech student. Johnson fled the area after the attack but was taken into custody by campus police soon afterward.
As of Monday afternoon, the school believes the attack was a "random act of violence." Read the full statement from LA Tech below.
