Rayne's police officer killed on Monday News

The Louisiana State Police examines the death of a Rayne police officer on Monday.

On Monday at around 2 p.m., the police office was asked by Louisiana State Police of investigations by the Rayne police department to examine a shootout involved in the East Harrop Street, said Peggy Bourque, public information officer from Trooper First Class, in a press release.

A Rayne police officer was shot at the scene and declared dead, said Bourque.

No further details were published.

Social media commentators and at least one news agency reported that the official may have been kept with a suspect and was shot by another law enforcement officer.

Louisiana's detectives ask everyone with information, photos or videos of the Rayne shooting to report them anonymously at Lsp.org and to report to “suspicious or ciminal activities” or call the hotline under 1-800-434-8007.

In July, the Lafayette police authority lost one of her officials during a hostage situation and the shootout in Jeanerette. Senior Cpl. Segus Jolivette, a 35-year-old veteran of the armed forces, was killed. It was rumored that the fatal shootout is a case of friendly fire, although the law enforcement authorities did not confirm this in the recording.

31-year-old Nyjal Hurst from Jeanerette was charged by the Louisiana State Police in February due to murder's second degree on the death of Jolivette and with 10 attempted murder. Hurst was the man in the Jeanerette Mobilheim, who led to the shootout.
