CLEVELAND, Miss. (AP) — The latest on a shooting at Delta State University that left a professor dead .

The professor killed in his office at a university in Mississippi has been identified as Ethan Schmidt, who worked in the history department.

According to Schmidt’s bio on the Delta State web site, the Marion County native  earned his B.A. and M.A. at Emporia State University and his Ph.D., at the University of Kansas.

Murray Roark, deputy coroner in Bolivar County, says Schmidt was killed in his office Monday morning at Delta State University.

Authorities say they are searching for a car believed to be driven by a person of interest in the slaying.

Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Johnny Poulos says investigators believe Shannon Lamb is driving a 2011 black Dodge Avenger with a Mississippi license plate and the number STF 015. The license plate also has the word “Stone” as a designation for Stone County.

Lamb has been called a “person of interest” in the shooting of history professor Schmidt at Delta State University on Monday morning. Police also say they have information suggesting he may have been involved in another slaying in south Mississippi.

The 3,500-student university is in Cleveland, in Mississippi’s Delta region near the Arkansas-Mississippi state line.

HUTCHINSON – A Kansas man was arrested on four charges early Sunday where he was found inside a Hutchinson home uninvited.

A Hutchinson woman reported to police that she found a man inside her home just before 7 a.m.

In court on Monday, he told Judge Joe McCarville that he didn’t intend to rob anyone. He thought someone was chasing him and was going to kill him, so he went into the home to hide.

He appeared via-video from the jail and was sporting a black eye from the incident. His bond was set at $60,500 and the judge lowered it to $60,000. He’s expected back in court next Monday for the reading of any charges the state may file.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The preliminary hearing for two Kansas Department of Corrections inmates charged in an attack on another inmate has been continued because of defense attorneys had not seen an important piece of evidence.

Twenty-two-year-old Jerrod Green and 31-year-old Juan Garza are charged with attempted capital murder or aggravated battery in the June 2014 attack on inmate Miguel Garcia at a state prison.

The preliminary hearing set for Monday was continued because the men’s attorneys had not seen a video that the state said shows what happened during the attack. Also, an attorney representing Green is leaving the public defender’s office this month, so another attorney will have to be appointed.

No new hearing date was set.
