Well, y’all, I reckon you’ve probably heard by now, but there’s been a mighty disturbing thing happened over at Louisiana Tech University, over in Ruston, Louisiana. On a Monday mornin’, of all times, four folks got stabbed, just like that! It was right there on the campus, and it didn’t matter who they were, or what they was doin’. The thing was, it weren’t planned or anything — just a random act, they say. Ain’t that somethin’?

One of the poor souls hurt in this mess was a graduate student, tryin’ to get through her studies like the rest of us. I can’t imagine what she was thinkin’, bein’ stabbed outta nowhere like that. Just goes to show, you never know what kinda day you might end up havin’.
Now, I don’t know about you, but when I first heard the news, I thought maybe it was some kinda argument gone too far, or somethin’ like that. But no, they say it was all random. Just one minute folks were goin’ about their business, and the next minute, wham! A stranger comes along with a knife, and it’s all a mess. Four people hurt all at once, just for no reason. Real scary stuff, if you ask me.
One of the victims was a lady named Annie Richardson, and she was among the four women that got stabbed. Poor thing, I reckon she never expected anythin’ like that to happen to her while walkin’ around on campus. But that’s the way it goes, I suppose. In this world, there’s just no way to know what kinda danger might be lurkin’ around the corner.
Well, don’t you worry, though, ’cause the police got hold of the feller who did it. They say he’s in custody now, so at least he won’t be runnin’ around harmin’ anyone else. But I’ll tell ya what — this whole thing sure has shaken people up. Makes you think twice about goin’ out anywhere these days, even just to get an education.
The whole thing went down right near Lambright Intramural, and I reckon that’s where a lotta folks tend to gather up for sports and such. I’ve heard people say it’s usually a nice spot, but now, who knows? If you’re ever walkin’ by that place now, you might be lookin’ over your shoulder a bit more than usual, I’d guess. Ain’t no tellin’ what’s gonna happen next.

But that’s the world we live in now, ain’t it? People gettin’ hurt outta nowhere, and you don’t always know who to trust. Makes you wonder about how safe we really are, even when we think we’re just goin’ about our normal lives. I reckon, if there’s anythin’ to learn from all this, it’s that you gotta stay aware. Keep your eyes peeled, folks, ’cause you never know when danger might be right in front of ya.
Now, I’m not sayin’ we gotta live in fear all the time, but a little caution never hurt nobody. Take care of yourself and those around you, especially when you’re out and about. Things can change in the blink of an eye, and you don’t want to be caught unprepared. So, y’all, let’s stay safe and hope that something like this don’t happen again — not in our schools, not in our towns, and not to anyone else.
So, here’s hopin’ things calm down over there at Louisiana Tech, and that folks can feel safe again soon. But, boy, I sure don’t wanna be thinkin’ that somethin’ like this could happen to anyone else, whether they’re just studyin’, goin’ for a walk, or doin’ whatever folks do on campus.
In the meantime, I’ll be prayin’ for the victims of this terrible attack. May they find some peace and heal from what they’ve been through. And for that young man who did it, well, I reckon he’ll be gettin’ what’s comin’ to him now, won’t he?
