Thank you, nana. I’m glad your husband wasn’t caught in the middle of it. I think my daughter is still in shock. She worked closely with the slain officers and also knows the paramedics that were shot. As you said, it’s a small town and there is a lot of shock and disbelief that something like this could happen there, but like any small town it just looks peaceful on the surface. No one, No where is safe from an incident like this.
Bless her heart, Elyse. I’m from LA and my father has business associates in Bastrop. When I saw this I thought it must be another Bastrop. Am praying for all with special prayers for your daughter. God bless.
The identities of the officers killed today have been released. Killed in the line of duty are 40-year-old Detective Sergeant John Smith, an 18-year veteran of the Bastrop Police force, and 34-year-old Detective Sergeant Charles Wilson Jr. who's been with the department for 11 years.
Still no ID on the dead assailant. Still a BOLO for "Tanya 'Littlefeather' Smith, a 26-year-old female wanted for questioning.".
From KTBS in Shreveport:
The 26-year-old woman police are looking for got away in a stolen pickup. All the suspects are believed to be connected to a murder in the Houston area.
?? "All" sort of implies more than just two, but maybe not.
