Louisiana gun store shooting victims, shooter identified

The suspect and victims of the shooting at the Jefferson Gun Outlet have been identified as their families grieve their loss.

Three people were killed and two more wounded in a shooting at a Metairie gun store and shooting range Saturday afternoon. Among the dead is a 27-year-old man suspected of starting the violence.

Sources tell Ramon Vargas at The New Orleans Advocate | Times-Picayune that New Orleans native Joshua Jamal Williams walked into the indoor shooting range at Jefferson Gun Outlet -- a firearm store and range at 6719 Airline Drive -- around 3 p.m. carrying a pistol with an extended clip.

Rules at the store prohibit patrons from having loaded weapons while away from the range. According to Vargas' report, Williams got into an argument with staff over the rules, then fired a warning shot.

He subsequently shot a store clerk, fatally wounding him. The newspaper identified that clerk as 47-year-old Noah Fiscbach, who was a husband and father.

According to investigators, Williams became involved in a gunfight with employees and patrons, during which he and 59-year-old Veronica Billiot were fatally struck by gunfire.
