Which apparently will continue to be the case

Nobody famous. We did have our fair share of guys with 84mph fastballs think they were going to make it to MLB “easily” and one 6-3” 2-footed jumper who thought he was bound to be an NBA forward.

Yes, across from Albertsons. It was in 1995, but I thought it was earlier than that.

The man, the myth, the legend, the best football player in LSU history. The titan of tigerland, the bastion of Baton Rouge, the lion of Louisiana and the stallion of the south....

What are the Calendars shootings?


This all happened in 1995. Calendar's was a restaurant at the corner of Essen and Perkins. The place across from the Albertson's that has been a ton of different restaurants since (some people say the location is cursed since the shooting). A guy who had worked in the kitchen as a dishwasher, showed up around closing time to rob the place. Went in the back and slaughtered the staff. This was a pretty brutal crime in a time when Baton Rouge didn't have the level of violent crime we have now. It made big time news for the outright cold blooded way he did it. He shot one worker to death first, then shot the manager in the head, shot another worker in the back (who survived the wound) and then held the gun to the fourth worker and pulled the trigger but the gun had jammed. He then ran off. The survivors obviously knew him and he was arrested shortly after.

I remember it clearly because a friend was working at the DA's office and had a tape of the 911 call from the manager. She was on the phone when he started shooting and you can clearly hear her begging for her life and her last breaths after he shoots her in the head. It was really horrible and I only listened to it once.

He had kids (2 sons, if i recall correctly) with my classmate as well. They use her maiden name. Pretty sure one of them is actually a doctor.

Dr Schmidt was actually my mom's doctor at one time.

A lot of people went through a lot of crap because of his actions.
