HATEFUL MOFO EXACTS KILLER REVENGE

[HairOfTheDog]

Meet 38 year-old Ben Freeman ^ from Raceland, Louisiana.

He's dead.

He died a coward's death by his own hand yesterday after shooting to death three people at whom he was pissed off. He shot and wounded three others as well.

The shootings happened at four locations in two parishes about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans on Thursday.

Site 1: Kill the former in-laws - 1 dead, 2 critically injured
The first report came about 6:40 p.m., when Lafourche Parish Councilman Louis Phillip Gouaux — who was shot in the throat — called 911 from his home in Lockport, Houma.

Louis Gouaux was Freeman's former father-in-law; Freeman had been married to his daughter Jeanne.

Freeman shot and killed Lous's wife, Susan "Pixie" Gouaux, and he shot and wounded their daughter, Andrea. Louis and Andrea were taken to University Hospital in New Orleans. Both were in critical but stable condition.

Site 2: Kill the former employer - 1 dead, 1 wounded
About 20 minutes later in Raceland, Ochsner, St. Anne General Hospital administrator Milton Bourgeois was shot and killed at close range at his home.

His wife, Ann Bourgeois, was shot in the leg and taken to the New Orleans hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.

Site 3: Kill the wife - 1 dead
Freeman's wife, Denise Taylor Freeman, was found dead in the couple's home in Houma in Terrebonne Parish. Her cause of death was not immediately known.

Site 4: Kill self - 1 dead
Ben Freeman was found along U.S. Highway 90 near Bayou Blue, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A shotgun was used in all of the shootings.

MOTIVES?

1. Divorce and custody:
The Lafourche Parish sheriff said Jeanne Gouaux had filed multiple protective orders against Freeman, who had pleaded guilty to harassment charges and was allowed only supervised visits with their four children. The last protective order expired less than a month ago.

2. Termination of employment:
Freeman had been employed at three area hospitals over the last few years, including St. Anne, where Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said he had been a registered nurse before he was fired in 2011. All three hospitals were put on lockdown for a while Thursday.

This is the third multi-site killing spree of targeted victims that I've read about in the past couple of months.
