Shooting Spree of Jobless Worker Leaves Three Hurt
Estranged Wife, Infant Among Victims
An unemployed sheet metal worker went on a shooting spree in a crowded camp house in Little Woods Thursday night, wounding his estranged wife, 9-month-old daughter and his wife's brother.
Two hours after the shooting police arrested Bernard Lannes, 42, 1636 Sauvage, and booked him on three counts of attempted murder.
Lannes was apprehended at 2837 St. Ann about 10:45 p. m. by two members of the police tactical squad.
Police said Lannes stalked into the camp about 8:30 p. m. with a .22 caliber pistol in his hand and started shooting.
Before he was overpowered, Lannes had wounded his wife, Doris, 27; their daughter, Bernadette, and his wife's brother, Calvin Guzman, 34 Carroll dr., Chalmette.
Guzman's brother, Charles Guzman, 34, 2701 Mexico, rushed from a shower bath when he heard the shooting. He grappled with Lannes, took the gun from him and beat him over the head with it, police said.
Guzman then ran to a nearby camp and telephoned police. When he returned, Lannes ran to his car and fled.
SEPARATE AFTER FIGHT
Members of the Guzman family said Mr. and Mrs. Lannes had been separated about two weeks.
Mrs. Barbara Guzman, 68, 3036 Marais, mother of Mrs. Lannes, said the couple separated after fighting in a barroom. She said her daughter danced with another man. Lannes, she said, became infuriated.
"He broke a bottle and went after her," said Mrs. Guzman. "He tried to cut her with the bottle but cut the baby instead. It wasn't a bad cut, though."
Police said there were 14 persons, six adults and eight children, in the camp when the shooting began.
The wounded were rushed to Charity hospital in police crash trucks. Mrs. Lannes was treated for wounds of the chest and arm. Guzman was wounded in the chest. The Lannes infant was wounded slightly in the elbow. Their conditions were said to be good, according to hospital attaches.
The camp house is about 300 feet east of the intersection of Paris rd. and Hayne blvd.
PERSUED AND WOUNDED
Mrs. Barbara Guzman said she and her daughter and son Calvin were sitting in a front room of the house when Lannes walked in. Mrs. Lannes was holding her daughter in her arms, she said.
"When she saw it was him, she got up and ran with the baby toward the rear of the house," Mrs. Guzman said. "I ran out the door and he ran after her. Then I heard the shots."
Mrs. Charles Guzman said she saw Lannes firing and thought: "Oh, they're blanks."
"My husband called from the shower when he heard the shots," she said. "I told him 'It's Bernard and he's shooting but it's only blanks.'"
She said she got her three children out of the house. When she returned she said, she saw her husband beating Lannes on the head with the pistol.
SHOUTS 'DON'T KILL HIM'
She shouted at her husband: "Don't kill him."
Charles Guzman said he heard the shooting while he was taking a shower.
"It sounded like firecrackers,: he said. "I rushed out and saw Lannes and realized he had shot my brother and my sister and my sister's baby.
"My brother was holding him and Lannes still had the pistol.
"I took the pistol away and hit him over the head with it."
Charity hospital attaches said Calvin Guzman was transferred to Touro infirmary for treatment late Thursday night.
