Details were since released regarding this incident.
Earl Billot (38) was the individual who originally reported the shots to Riley County Police. The shots were fired in his home and his fiance was injured. Upon arrival, police found Kendra Billam (48) deceased from a self inflicted gunshot wound.
Billam was a former science teacher at Manhattan High School for 17 years and started with USD 383 in 1989 as an aide.
An autopsy was requested, which RCPD Captain Tim Hegarty says is “fairly standard for suicides”.
