(单词翻译)

A 23-year-old woman has shot dead two fellow students at a vocational college in Louisiana, and then turned the gun on herself.

Another US campus shut down after shots have fired in a classroom. And as police moved into the Louisiana Technical College, they found a familiar outcome.  

They determined1 once they got in, the, the shooter apparently2 had taken her own life. They went directly into the classroom where this occurred, classrom 283 and found inside three young women, all shot, all suffering what appeared to be fatal gunshot wounds. They were beyond help at that point. 

It's thought the gunwoman shot her victims while they were still in their seats in front of the rest of the class. What police can't explain yet though is why. But a friend of one student remembers apparently seeing the gunwoman involved in a fight with some students the day before.

 A bit odd occasion happened inside the school between the girl that did the shooting and some more girls. Supposedly, yesterday someone crowd -- the girls crowded her. So as she came to school this morning and they got into it, it was a big scene. They were about to fight, and supposedly she pulled out the gun and shot three other girls and shot herself.  

This latest American campus gun tragedy comes with the tears barely dried for some from the Virginia Tech University Massacre3 last April when a gunman killed 32 people before killing4 himself. It's in a country where 80 people reportedly die/ from bullet-wounds every week. Now another classroom will be left debating whether it's time for America to tighten5 its gun controls.
