Authorities in Gautier said Shannon Lamb called them around 10 a.m. Monday and said he had shot and killed someone. He did not provide an explanation.
When police got to the scene they found a handwritten note that said: "I am so sorry I wish I could take it back. I loved Amy and she is the only person who ever loved me."
Lamb is accused of killing Amy Prentiss and a professor at Delta State University before eventually taking his own life late Monday.
