TERRYTOWN, La. (AP) — Authorities say man shot and killed his ex-girlfriend in a Terrytown apartment in which another woman and three children were present.
The Times-Picayune reports that (http://bit.ly/OgsSfq ) the woman was identified as 27-year-old Stephanie South of Terrytown.
Authorities say witnesses reported that a man was banging on the door and screaming obscenities before he got inside. He allegedly chased the woman around the apartment while shooting at her with a .45 caliber pistol. She ran outside and collapsed and died.
The incident occurred just before midnight.
Sheriff Newell Normand says in a news release that three children and another woman were in the apartment, but it wasn't immediately clear if the victim was the children's mother.
Sheriff's spokesman Glen Boyd identified the suspect as Tory Wilson, 30, of Terrytown.
