An 18-year-old girl was allegedly shot and killed by a professor at the Georgia university that she planned to attend in the fall, according to police and local reports.
Richard Sigman, 47, was arrested and charged with murder, possession of a firearm and aggravated assault in the Saturday death of Anna Jones, a recent high school graduate who was enrolled as an incoming freshman at the University of West Georgia.
Carrollton police said a man had alerted security at Leopoldo’s, a local pizza place, that Sigman threatened to shoot him after the two got into an argument at around midnight.
When security approached the professor, they saw he had a weapon and told him to leave, according to cops.
Sigman left and walked toward a parking deck, where he allegedly began shooting into a parked vehicle where Jones was sitting, authorities said.
The young woman was struck and her friends quickly drove her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.…

Just wow. Beautiful looking girl. What a senseless tragedy!
I wonder if he will get as much time is the man who shot Amud Abrey? Personally I doubt it. There was no mention of the Feds charging him of depriving her of her Civil Rights. He will probably get probabation and time served. If anything.
The hanging should be this Saturday at noon on the public square.
In a just World it would be. I would not mind pulling on the rope.
Georgia has capital punishment. Let’s hope they use it.
AMEN!
UWG fired him and deleted his bio from their website.
Psycho professor. Death penalty candidate. Clearly too many of our “teachers” have gone down the toilet. He could have been drunk or high on psychotropics.
Sigman was a professor of business management according to Ratemyprofessors. Pretty lenient. Would have a test review session day or so before the test. Guaranteed to assist the prof in getting rehired.
If he is a registered democrat, he will be released in 2 years.
Amen to that.
I can’t even see why there was a shooting. Insane.
Richard Sigman was a Professor in the Management department at University of West Georgia. Failed at managing his temper.
I always wonder how someone can make it as far ..professionally..but life in general..with that kind of psycho rage?
This guy just didn’t wake up one day and decide killing someone in cold blood is a reasonable option.
Security saw he had a weapon and told him to leave?! There’s got to be more to the story than that. Why wasn’t he detained and the cops called? They should have tackled him and sat on him until police arrived. They just let an armed man walk away?
.22 LR would take care of this problem quickly. Trial then a quick trip out back.
Yeah, I looked at his RMP profile just out of curiosity. It looked pretty standard with nothing to indicate that he was a potential psycho. It appears that WGU fired him AFTER the shooting — which would indicate that nothing signficant was amiss before then.
Unfortunately, sometimes people just snap and, tragically, take others with them.
So he gets into an argument with someone, is told to leave by security and in the process of leaving decides to pull out his gun and shoot some girl in a parked car?
Not just evil but also Bizarre. Is there more to the story?
Think about this when suggesting that teachers be armed. The crazy goes deep in schools.
