On February 8th, 23-year-old Latina Williams shot and killed 21-year-old Karsheika Graves and 26-year-old Taneshia Butler in a vocational college classroom in Baton Rouge, then turned the .357 revolver on herself and committed suicide.
Baton Rouge Police released the 911 tapes of the calls made reporting the February 8th shooting late Friday afternoon.

Sergeant Don Kelly, a spokesman for the Baton Rouge Police Department, said that the two victims were apparently shot while sitting a second-floor classroom at Louisiana Technical College. About 20 people were in the emergency medical technology class when the shooting occurred.
Kelly says the shooter entered the room briefly, spoke with the instructor and left. She then returned through another door and fired six rounds, killing the two victims, then reloaded and shot herself in the head.
Kelly said Baton Rouge police got many cell phone calls reporting that people had been shot, and there was ``mass pandemonium'' and ``people running'' when officers entered the building four minutes after the first 911 call.
