Police: Louisiana trooper dies after being shot in head
NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? A Louisiana trooper died Monday after he was shot by an apparently stranded motorist who stood over the officer and told him afterward, "You're lucky ? you're going to die soon," state police said.
Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, died at a hospital in Lake Charles after being shot in the head over the weekend by a man whose pickup truck was stuck sideways in a ditch, Col. Mike Edmonson said. "This loss exacts an enormous emotional toll on the state police family, but we will do what is necessary and proper to honor Steve and support those who knew and loved him," Edmonson said in a statement Monday morning. Edmonson said Kevin Daigle, 54, of Lake Charles, was under arrest at a hospital where he was taken after other motorists saw the fallen policeman and wrestled Daigle to the ground. Police video showed Vincent, a 13-year state police veteran in southwest Louisiana and member of a law enforcement family, very professionally trying to talk a man out of the vehicle stuck sideways in a ditch, Edmonson said during a news conference Sunday. He said the truck door opened and Daigle came out with the shotgun. Police: Louisiana trooper dies after being shot in head - Yahoo News |
