this is from the local Monroe TV station. It's not the most informative, but a better article from the local newspaper can't be posted due to copyright complaints. Latest update is that two suspects are in custody, but the situation is "ongoing." Flashbangs were heard going off at 4 PM.

also, I inadvertently put the wrong news source. It’s from KNOE.com

Louisiana, right? I caught the word “parish.”

May the officers truly rest in peace in the arms of the Lord;

I also pray for the EMT’s, and for the families of all involved.

May have missed it but just where is this happening?

Bastrop is about 70 miles from us. We live in S. Ark.

Flashbangs?.......Should have been the other way round......

update from the 5:00 news. Still ongoing, one of the suspects is a white or hispanic female wanted for a homicide in the Houston area.

Where might this be?

I didn’t catch that. Thought it was Bastrop, TX. I was wondering why the local news in San Antonio didn’t have anything on it.

A caller who identified herself as Sharon Anders, manager of Altel’s Bastrop store, said the FBI has ordered all Bastrop phone service disconnected until the situation is normalized.

Police have identified a person of interest. She is 26-year-old Tonya Smith of Texas. Police say a vehicle was found at the hotel. They traced this vehicle back to Harris County, Texas, and they discovered a murder warrant was attached to the vehicle. Police say Smith is a suspect in that murder warrant.

Smith is described as either a white or hispanic female, 26 years old, 5’9” and about 150 lbs. She has brown hair and hazel eyes. She is believed to have two tattoos: one on her left wrist and another on her back right shoulder. The second tattoo is reported to be of a viking. She was last seen wearing a white shirt and blue jeans and driving a dark green Dodge. If you have any information on this suspect, call Bastrop police or State Police immediately.

At least six law enforcement agencies are on the scene.
