Umm..don't you mean "Upper Lafayette"--to include Opelousas?

Opelousas isn't Lafayette.

The kid that died was getting dropped off a few houses from his due to the fact that he had snuck out and didn't want to alarm his parent of such. Guys been robbed 5 times lately and takes this as the sixth. Runs out and fires off three rounds at a moving vehicle striking all three kids. Killing one. Then casually goes to eat breakfast. Much less, the shooter is a kid also, 18. So there's a whole 'nother world of sh*t for him.

That's some ********. You half read an article and skipped down to the comments to get your story. He didn't casually go eat breakfast, he worked at Another Broken Egg. They picked him up at work. He wasn't aware that anybody was shot. His sister called the cops while all of that was happening and like the last couple times they never responded so he just assumed they would do nothing like always and went to work. Those kids were up to no good on someone else's property and got caught.... PERIOD. The two survivors should spend as much time in jail as the guy who pulled the trigger.

Your facts. They aren't facts.

Not to speculate, but I know for a FACT that Lafayette PD responds to every single call for service. If someone calls in and says something as simple as "oh I heard fireworks" they have to respond. If someone says they called in a car burglary and no one responded, I call BS. If someone is going to lie about one detail, chances are they'll lie to the media about all of the details.

"highly unusual circumstances around this case"

Attorney: Shooting is epic tragedy

The fatal shooting of a St. Thomas More High School student and the wounding of two other local Catholic school students was a "tragedy of epic proportions" that was never intended, the attorney for the man accused in the shootings told The Daily Advertiser Monday.

Thomas Guilbeau, the attorney for Seth Fontenot, 18, said his client has been distraught about the shootings on Sunday that left Austin Rivault, 15, dead of a gunshot wound to the back of the head.

Two other students, who are not being identified by The Daily Advertiser because they are juveniles, were wounded in the shootings but are expected to recover. One was shot in the ankle. The other was shot in the back of the neck and, according to his father, has a bullet lodged in his jaw.

"No one was ever meant to be shot in this case," Guilbeau said. "It's impacted him greatly, and he is very, very depressed and upset about the fact that a life was taken."

Fontenot is being held without bond in the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on a charge of first-degree murder and on two charges of attempted first-degree murder.

Fontenot told investigators his intentions "were to only scare the victims, not to inflict bodily harm and/or death," according to a sworn statement submitted by police in seeking his arrest.

Guilbeau said there are "highly unusual circumstances around this case," but declined to discuss specifics, citing attorney-client privilege and an ongoing investigation.
