And completely ruins traffic for the rest of us

LAFAYETTE - A high-speed vehicle pursuit involving multiple law enforcement agencies on I-10 ended in Lafayette. The suspect is reportedly wanted for a felony in Texas, according to Louisiana State Police.

The chase was started by the Iberville Sheriff's Office, and State Police Troop A joined the pursuit once investigators were told the driver was heavily armed, according to State Police.

The driver, followed by a line of police vehicles on I-10 westbound, led the chase into Lafayette where State Police Troop I joined the pursuit.

State Police then threw down a spike strip in an attempt to stop the vehicle. Their attempt was successful, as the strip punctured two of the vehicle's tires, according to the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office.

The vehicle then came to a rolling stop. Sometime after stopping, a single gunshot was heard from inside the vehicle, according to the Sheriff's Office.

When did this happen? I drove that entire route and just arrived about an hour ago in Lafayette. Didn't hit a single lick of traffic from covington

This is BS journalist sensationalism.


No one can go high speed on I-10 in that cluster of a traffic nightmare.

The dozens of cops screaming down the shoulder might have something to say about that

Louisiana has many armpits but Laffy ain't one. The state has like 3 respectable places to raise a family and Lafayette (especially the south side) is one of the best.
