09-15-2015
The hunt for the man who murdered a Mississippi college professor ended in the suspected gunman's suicide Monday night.
Shannon Lamb, 45, jumped from his car and ran off to escape the police. Minutes afterwards, officers heard a gunshot and later found his body with a bullet wound in the head.
Lamb is believed to have killed Delta State University professor Ethan Schmidt in his office, prompting a campus-wide lockdown.
In a search of Lamb's apartment, police discovered the body of Amy Prentiss, a woman who lived with him.
Police have not yet discovered a motive for the killings.
