Young Mr. BEER has now been put in the location, with a potential weapon.

Anything else you want to share about his recent mental state?


Nah. He texted me and said it wasn't him.

So you're for pocket knife control?

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.

Weird ULM sent out a warning text about some weirdo hypnotizing womens on Grambling’s campus but not about a mass stabbing at Louisiana Tech.

Profile pic from fb if the same Jacoby Johnson, but he has Tech listed as his school and looks to be the right age.

They’ll make a big deal of of it, but if he were a Muslim it would be swept under the rug.

Email sent to Tech students:

Four injured in incident at Louisiana Tech

Shortly after 9 a.m. there was a stabbing incident reported at the Lambright Sports and Wellness Center on the Louisiana Tech University campus. Tech police received a phone call at approximately 9:08 a.m. and had the suspect in custody at approximately 9:12 a.m.

The attack happened outside of the building as the victims were leaving. The suspect then fled south toward main campus and was apprehended by campus police without incident.

This appears to be a random act of violence. The suspect has been identified as Louisiana Tech student, Jacoby Johnson. He is being treated at Northern Louisiana Medical Center for injuries received during the initial incident. Ruston Police Department and the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office assisted with scene control and evidence collection.

There are four known victims, two were transported to a local hospital, one was airlifted to Shreveport, and the other refused treatment. As of 11:40 a.m. one victim is in critical condition at NLMC and the two other victims are in serious but stable condition. The victim airlifted is a graduate student. The other three victims are non-students.

At this time, the Lambright Center is closed. All other campus operations are normal. The investigation is ongoing and the university will provide an update later this afternoon.

Counseling Services is available to students individually and in a group setting at no additional charge. Appointments can be made by visiting Keeny Hall 310, calling 318.257.2488, or through the website. A special group offering will begin today at 3:00 pm and run throughout the week to provide a space for students to process emotions following the unexpected event.

In general, as in, don't use your pocketknife to cut up innocent old ladies coming to an aerobics class at LA Tech.

Is that a particularly Hot Take?
