Col. Edmonson says there is also no evidence, at this time, that Few backed into the deputy's vehicle. Investigators are reviewing at least one piece of video that shows part of the gunfire. A source tells WAFB that video is from a police body camera one of the officers was wearing.

Col. Edmonson says the Louisiana State Police was contacted shortly after the shooting. For the first 12 to 15 hours, investigators were in a forensic mode - investigating the trajectory of the bullets fired.

During the initial investigation, the Marksville Police Chief stated there were four officers involved. Three of them worked full time for the Marksville Police Department, one worked as a Reserve Officer for the Marksville Police Department. Three of the officers were moonlighting as Ward 2 City Marshals, a fourth officer was called in as backup with the Marksville Police Department. The problem is, the police chief and mayor did not know their officers picked up the part-time jobs with the City Marshal's office until about three months ago.

I'm equally sure they just randomly decided to shoot at the vehicle.

Marshals are a joke anyway, should be done away with and constables too.

I'm in no way defending what these guys did, but why the frick was a 6 year old out on MLK blvd at 9:30 at night?!

ETA: I'm implying that the parents of this child are idiots.

I need more details. It does seem very improbable that the cops would have shot at the vehicle had they even known the kid was present. If anyone is to blame, its the tPOS parent who was running from the cops with a 6-year-old in the car, but lets absolve them of any wrongdoing.

Poor kid. And poor officers because this will haunt them forever.

They probably did, and they probably didn't know a 6-year old was in the car.

At least I hope that's the case.

So if the driver happened to jump out with a gun, what should their reaction have been?


I also assume that they didn't know a child was In the car

Which is exactly why I said I need more details.

If the driver did something to warrant that, and the cops had no idea the kid was there (which they most likely did not if they shot up the car), then it is hard to blame the cops IMO. Terrible situation all-around.

post a pic. I need more details to this as well. Did he jump out of the car and begin shooting at them? Did they just start shooting into the car when the car came to a stop?

He appeared to be a tugboat captain and didn't seem like a bad guy according to his facebook. Damn shame, makes me want to go take my kids out of school and hug the shite out of them.
