Ex-college football player Sean Barrette denied bail in Louisiana killing spree
A former college football player with a history of mental illness allegedly gunned down three men at random near New Orleans — and is suspected in a fourth killing — and has been denied bail, authorities said. Sean Barrette — a 22-year-old offensive lineman who played at the University of South Alabama and two other colleges — was remanded Tuesday on two counts of first-degree murder, one count of second-degree murder, three counts of attempted second-degree murder and other charges stemming from a string of shootings last month in Metairie and Kenner, NOLA.com reports. Authorities in Jefferson Parish allege that Barrette killed Isai Cadalzo, 22, on June 17 in Metairie. Less than 24 hours later, Barrette, who had been committed to a mental institution as recently as April, allegedly killed Manuel Caronia, 45, and Nicky Robeau, 57, in seemingly indiscriminate shootings. “We’ve not been able to identify any connection between the victims and the suspect,” Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto told reporters last month. “I believe that he was actually picking his targets at random, shooting them in the vehicle.” Barrette had been twice treated at mental health facilities dating back to December. A motive for the shootings remains unclear. Barrette’s attorney, Paul Fleming, cited differing descriptions of the gunman by witnesses at one shooting scene in his request for bail, but Assistant District Attorney Kenneth Bordelon convinced a judge that the Metairie man is a “threat” to his community. Investigators said ballistics evidence from the shooting scenes ties Barrette to the killings. Separately, Barrette is linked to bullet casings recovered at a fatal shooting in New Orleans on June 6 that claimed the life of 61-year-old Bruce Reed, as well as another shooting in the city a day earlier that left no one hurt, Lopinto told reporters last month. Barrette, who was arrested at his parents’ home, was found in possession of a loaded .40-caliber pistol when he was taken into custody. Investigators also found receipts for ammunition that was shipped to the residence, AL.com reports. After playing high school ball at John Curtis Christian School in New Orleans, Barrette played on the collegiate level at the University of South Alabama, Mississippi State University and Southeastern Louisiana University, according to AL.com, citing online records. The daughter of one of the shooting victims, meanwhile, said Barrette wrecked her life in an instant, NOLA.com reports. “He was our rock,” Nicole Robeau said of her father. “This just basically destroyed our life and took the most amazing man away from us.” Barrette left Mississippi State to join the South Alabama Jaguars in 2016, but sat out that year’s fall semester due to the transfer, a University of South Alabama official who asked not to be identified told The Post early Thursday. He then quit the team in February 2017 before ever playing a down, according to the school official. “He never

MUST KNOW for Concealed Carry in Louisiana Churches **SEE EDIT**
EDIT: LA R.S. 40:1379.3 was amended as of August 2018. The previous training requirement is now only mandatory if required by the entity which has authority over the religious organization pursuant to Paragraph (1) of this Subsection or by the owner of the building's liability insurance policy. The training shall be conducted annually.
With an increase in violence in churches, I'm getting more and more inquiries about church security teams and concealed carry in churches. Please note that this video is only discussing the requirements under our permit law, but a security plan is so much more than letting someone carry a gun. Please reach out to us for help or training.
Our statute in LA that covers the concealed handgun permit is:
LA R.S. 40:1379.3
Subsection U covers the church's authority to allow certain people to carry concealed.
U.(1) The entity which owns the business or has authority over the administration of a church, synagogue, or mosque shall have the authority to authorize any person issued a valid concealed handgun permit as authorized by the provisions of this Section to carry a concealed handgun in the church, synagogue, or mosque.
(2) The provisions of this Subsection shall not be construed to limit or prohibit any church, synagogue, or mosque from employing or designating as armed security guards persons who are either certified law enforcement officers or authorized to carry concealed handguns pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Armed security guards as provided in this Paragraph may be compensated, noncompensated, or volunteers.
(3) If the church, synagogue, or mosque authorizes the carrying of concealed handguns as authorized by the provisions of this Subsection, the pastor, priest, minister, or other authority of the church, synagogue, or mosque shall inform the congregation of the authorization.
(4) The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to authorize the carrying of a concealed handgun in a church, synagogue, or mosque located on the property of any school or school property, which would otherwise be prohibited by the provisions of R.S. 14:95.2.
(5) Any church, synagogue, or mosque authorizing the carrying of concealed handguns pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection shall require an additional eight hours of tactical training for those persons wishing to carry concealed handguns in the church, synagogue, or mosque if required by the entity which has authority over the religious organization pursuant to Paragraph (1) of this Subsection or by the owner of the building's liability insurance policy. The training shall be conducted annually.

KENNER, La. — The New Orleans airport concourse that became a scene of chaos when a machete-wielding man was shot by a sheriff’s lieutenant is open again and a spokeswoman says airport operations are normal. Meanwhile, the suspect in the bizarre Friday night attack at New Orleans International Airport remained in serious condition Saturday morning. Col. John Fortunato of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office said investigators still don’t know the motive for the attack. Sixty-two-year-old Richard White of Kenner is alleged to have approached a security checkpoint, where he sprayed agents and travelers with bug spray before drawing a machete from his waistband and chasing a security agent. White, who is believed to be a former taxi driver, was shot three times by a sheriff’s office lieutenant who was stationed at the checkpoint.
