A History professor from Delta State University was shot and killed today. Details are slowly coming in.

Police are scouring a Mississippi college campus after a history professor was killed in his office Monday -- and investigators say another employee at the school could be connected to the case.

Delta State University history professor Ethan Schmidt was shot in the head, Bolivar County Deputy Coroner Murray Roark said. The shooter remains at large, the coroner said.

Investigators say an instructor at the school in Cleveland, Mississippi, is a "person of interest" in the case, and police in a town 300 miles away described him as a suspect in another homicide there.

Authorities are searching for Shannon Lamb, Cleveland Police Chief Charles Bingham said. He described Lamb as an employee of the university and person of interest, but Bingham did not detail why investigators are calling him a person of interest or what his connection could be to Schmidt.

"At this time we don't think he's on campus," Bingham said, "but we're not taking anything lightly."

update:

Law enforcement sources say Shannon Lamb is dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Officials said Greenville Police Department tried to initiate a stop, at which point Lamb ran and stopped and got out on foot. Police heard a shot, and shortly thereafter, Lamb was found with a gunshot wound.

Just glad he didnt get to take out anybody else. Glad his victims children no longer have to worry about him going after them.

Glad he didnt make it into Louisiana.

claimed to have a medical condition and asked the University for a reduced load.

frankly, sounds like a junkie to me.
