December 26, 2013 Suspect Ben Freeman went on a deadly rampage in four locations in two parishes 45 miles from New Orleans Louisiana, killing 4 including himself. He first killed his wife in the bathtub in his home, then shot Lafourche Parish Councilman Louis Phillip Gouaux and his wife in his home, who were the parents of his ex-wife. Only 20 minutes later, Freeman attacked St. Anne General Hospital CEO Milton Bourgeois and his wife in his home, killing Milton. Freeman had worked in 3 hospitals as a nurse before being fired in 2011 after police were called damaging a room. Authorities saw no clear motive, but saw there were "difficult and complicated divorce/custody issues going on".
It included attacks on officials in two of their homes, attacks on family and extended family, workplace and hospitals which makes it appear to be an extensively scripted attack.

A south Louisiana man attacked his former in-laws, his current wife, and the head of a hospital where he'd worked, killing three before killing himself, authorities said.
The shootings happened at four locations in two parishes about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans on Thursday. 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, The Courier newspaper reported.

- Freeman's murderous rampage apparently started, police said, when he strangled and drowned his wife, Denise Taylor Freeman, in a bathtub in their home 12 miles away in Houma. He then drove to the home of his former in-laws, killed his former mother-in-law, Susan "Pixie" Gouaux, and shot her husband, Louis Phillip Gouaux, and their daughter, Andrea Gouaux. Freeman's ex-wife, Jeanne Gouaux, apparently was not at the house.
The night of terror in bayou country ended at about 10:45 p.m., police said, when Freeman parked his SUV on the shoulder of U.S. 90 late Thursday night, put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger
A retired nurse who worked for years at Ochsner St. Anne, Shirley Torres wondered if the gunman was targeting hospital employees. The couple's daughter-in-law is also a nurse; Susan Gouaux was her nanny.
shootings came on the heels of a deadly fire in nearby Houma, where three children were killed in a mobile home on Christmas morning. The combination of Wednesday's tragic fire and Thursday's violence left the bayou communities of Terrebonne and Lafourche unnerved.
