So lamb is on the lamb? (Yeah, I know you can spell it with, or without, the "b")
What a complete waste of three human being. This guy was smart (college degree), talented (played & sung music). She was fairly attractive. The professor killed at DSU was helping teach the next generation. What a waste. Total waste. I guess some people can't handle rejection. This is going to continue to end badly.
I pray no other civilians or police will get hurt.

Shannon Lamb stopped in Geenville, MS by Greenville police. He feld on foot. Police are in pursuit.
Saw on Facebook that he is surrounded on Highway 1. Assume it is in the Greenville area. Allegedly shots were fired. This is from some Delta folks.
Now, Greenville folks are saying he fired at Greenville police and they are in pursuit.
Greenville folks say he is now detained. Not sure as to whether alive or dead.
Greenville folks say he was taken alive.
Never mind, they just got him in Golden acres (his parents' place)
NBC News reporter just tweeted the guy killed himself. Local media reports say shooter is in custody.
USA Today reports Lamb died of a self inflicted Gun Shot Wound.
coward took the easy way out
Spin it this way: He was nice enough to save the taxpayers two trials and years of incarceration and/or death penalty appeals.
