Police and university officials say two 19-year-old women who were Southern University students and members of the school's athletic program were killed during a shootout outside a Baton Rouge apartment complex.
Police arrested one of two men suspected in the Sunday morning shooting. Twenty-two-year-old Ernest Bernard Felton is facing charges of attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon in the shooting of a 24-year-old man who was at a hospital with wounds that aren't considered life-threatening.
Police say investigators were awaiting results of ballistic analysis to determine who's responsible for fatally shooting Lashuntae Benton, of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Annette January, of Gary, Indiana.
