    A tornado ripped through Ruston early Thursday morning, reportedly killing two people and damaging Louisiana Tech's campus.

    "It's bad; real bad," Ruston Mayor Ronny Walker told the Monroe News-Star. "We took a direct hit."

    No information about the two fatalities has been released.

    On Louisiana Tech's campus, university president Les Guice said the baseball and softball fields are damaged, and trees are snapped across campus.
