In the moments that led up to the shooting, Lopinto said, Williams got into the facility with a loaded gun that was unholstered. A Jefferson Gun Outlet employee told him he could not have a loaded gun unholstered outside the gun range, and an argument broke out.
Williams started firing shots, officials said, and then he “was engaged” and shot outside of the facility.
Sources told Nola.com that Williams entered the gun outlet carrying a pistol with an extended clip. Staff told him to unload his weapon, per the store’s policy. Williams fired a warning shot, the sources said, and then he reportedly shot the clerk, who the news outlet identified as 47-year-old Noah Fischbach.

Deanna Theis, a woman identifying herself as a friend of Fischbach shared a photo of him on Facebook.
“This is Noah Fischbach, one of the employees/victims in yesterday’s mass shooting at Jefferson Gun Outlet where I’ve been shooting,” she wrote. “47, father, husband, just celebrated his 14th wedding anniversary. I helped him with his cat a few years ago. He loved his cat. Anytime I saw him we talked about animal rescue and cats. Genuinely good guy. Helpful & knowledgeable in his field. Saw him at the end of December. He said I needed another gun and to come back and see him. Then we talked about kittens. Such a loss…my heart breaks for his family.”
