Police say security guards kicked out Richard Sigman, a 47-year-old Carrollton man, from Leopoldo’s Pizza Napoletana when they noticed he was armed with a gun. Sigman walked to a parking deck across the street from the pizzeria and fired several gunshots into a parked vehicle, investigators allege.
He struck 18-year-old Anna Jones, who was inside the vehicle, and she later died at a hospital, according to authorities.
The fatal shooting happened less than two miles from the University of West Georgia’s main campus, where school officials confirmed Jones was a student. Brendan Kelly, the university’s president, also confirmed that Sigman was a faculty member at the school and said he has been terminated, Channel 2 Action News reported.
From the news article, it sounds like Anna was a random, innocent victim. Sigman was kicked out of Leopold's restaurant because he had gotten into an argument with another man. Security guards saw him brandish a weapon, so they kicked him out of the restaurant.
