Alleged killer’s 911 call: “I shot my wife last night”

Police found the body of Amy Prentiss, who Lamb lived with, in a home in Gautier, Miss., about 300 miles from the university.

Authorities believe that after Lamb called police about Prentiss, he went on to Delta State to shoot Schmidt in his office at the university.

A vigil will be held on campus Tuesday night, and classes will resume Wednesday. At the time. Lamb did not provide an explanation.

The caller gives the address of the home, but when the dispatcher asks for the man’s name, he says, “That’s all I feel like saying right now”.

“She was completely devastated”, O’Steen said of his daughter.

After Lamb’s auto was spotted traveling across a bridge from Arkansas, and police in Greenville, Mississippi, began following him, he jumped from the vehicle and ran into a wooded area, law enforcement said.

However, he said Lamb seemed agitated.

Although a professor for DSU, Lamb was able to teach courses online and work from home in Gautier, as did Prentiss, who was in the medical billing field, according to Shaffer. And another student, Mikel Sykes, said Lamb told him he was dealing with stress at the end of the 2014-15 academic year.

“I thought the world of him”, LaForge said.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don’t want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

Schmidt wrote in an American Historical Association profile that he grew up in a family that valued history, his father a collector of Civil War and 19th century Kansas memorabilia and both parents involved in historic preservation.

Responding to the school shooting, William LaForge, the president of Delta State University said the shooting was a ‘random act between two individuals.’ We were cutting up and throwing one-liners at each other.

The college went on lockdown shortly after the call was made and reopened late Monday after officers scrupulously searched numerous buildings for Lamb, who had a teenage son and daughter.

Investigators are piecing together new information in Monday’s deadly rampage where a Delta State professor killed his live-in girlfriend and fellow professor. “She and her mother were absolutely best friends”.

“Amy was 110 percent about doing everything she could do to encourage and support her Abigail’s singing career”, Shaffer said.

Schmidt specialized in Native American and colonial history, according to English professor Don Allan Mitchell, who called his colleague “a gentleman in every sense of the word”.
