St. John shootings took place in 2 locations, Sheriff Mike Tregre says

Two St. John the Baptist Parish sheriff’s deputies were killed and two other deputies were injured in a pair of shootouts early Thursday morning in LaPlace. St. John Sheriff Mike Tregre, in an emotional news conference minutes ago, identified the slain officers as Brandon Nielsen, 34, and Jeremy Triche, 28. The injured officers are Michael Boyington, 33, and Jason Triche, 30, Tregre said.

Brett Duke, The Times-PicayuneSeveral law enforcement agencies on La. Highway 628 investigate a shootout early Thursday morning that left two St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies dead and two other deputies injured. The shooting occurred at a parking lot at the intersection of La. Highway 3217 and Airline Highway.

The first shooting, which Tregre described as an “ambush,” occurred about 5 a.m. at a remote parking lot for the Valero refinery at the intersection of La. Highway 3217 and Airline Highway. Jason Triche and Boyington were working a traffic detail there, Tregre said. He said he didn’t know what prompted the attack.

The second shooting occurred after deputies located a car at the nearby Riverview Trailer Park that matched the description of the car involved in the first shooting.

Tregre said that as Nielsen and Jeremy Triche attempted to question two men outside a trailer there, a third man jumped out with an assault weapon and began firing. Both deputies were killed.

The two injured deputies are currently in surgery, authorities said. Jason Triche is at River Parishes Hospital in LaPlace, while Boyington is at Interim LSU Public Hospital in New Orleans.

Tregre said a total of five suspects are in custody, but authorities are still trying to determine exactly what happened. The Louisiana State Police will oversee the investigation, he said.

Notice the angles. One right through the rear view mirror and then through the glass.
Coming from the front and angled like a drive by.

This might be part of it...
Mobile homes at Riverview Trailer Park declared unfit for habitation
Sheriff's officers walk around a mobile home looking for occupants on Friday, April 6, 2012 at the River View Trailer Park.
Snip...In total, the city has declared seven trailers unfit for habitation at the park. Four of the trailers, however, were already vacant, Jimenez said. City officials did not conduct further inspections on Monday, but Jimenez said his office will return to the park later this week, when more trailers may be declared unfit for habitation.

Payback for perceived wrongs?
