re: Officer involved shooting in Mandeville

Here’s an update, possible domestic dispute.

quote:

---

The incident originated when an officer with Mandeville Police responded to a residence in the 700 block of Heavens Drive for a welfare check. Upon arrival, the officer heard a woman screaming inside. The female quickly exited the residence, alerting the officer that a male inside was threatening to kill her. Seconds later, the male emerged, armed with a gun, and shot the female multiple times.

The Mandeville officer verbally engaged with the male, asking him numerous times to drop his weapon, while taking cover and awaiting backup. The officer attempted non-lethal force by tasing the male, who then pointed the gun at the officer. At this time, a second responding officer fired upon the man. Both individuals were transported to a local hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries. The bodies have been turned over the St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office.

No law enforcement personnel were injured. “This is an example of the dangers members of law enforcement face every day when they put on their uniform,” Sheriff Randy Smith said. “Thankfully all of the officers came home safe last night, but it could very easily end very differently. My prayers go out to the families affected by this tragic incident.” This is still an ongoing investigation, and no additional information will be provided at this time.

STPSO says the incident began when an officer with Mandeville police went to do a welfare check at a home on the 700 block of Heavens Drive.

When an officer arrived at the scene, they say they heard a woman screaming inside the home.

They say the woman came outside and alerted police that a man was inside the home threatening to kill her.

Police say a man came out of the home with a gun and shot the woman multiple times.

The officer took cover and waited for backup while telling the man to drop the gun. The officer attempted to taser the man, whose gun was still pointed at the officer.

During this time, another Mandeville officer arrived at the scene and fired his gun at the man.

Holy assumptions Batman. That may be what happened and it may not. You are taking the word of a newspaper reporter. She may have been shot within a second or two of leaving the home and he may not have had time. You make it sound like the cop pulled up a lawn chair.

Regardless, another example of some incredible loser abusing and killing a woman.The lowest shitbags on earth.

Fire ! Ready Aim!

Hold off the posse until you get the facts.
Always, the facts.

Interesting how the Mandeville PD is keeping identities of victims out of the news.
I think I heard the male was a local podiatrist in one news report. .

They're calling out the first cop pretty quickly.

What's the name? Nevermind, I found it. He had good reviews.
