The family of an abducted Louisiana woman rescued her and killed her abductor Friday.
Bethany Arceneaux, 29, was kidnapped Wednesday by Scott Thomas, 29, as she picked their child up from daycare, police said.
Police and family members in Lafayette Parish began searching for her immediately.
Her family found her first.
Police said the family was searching the area and heard a woman scream. About a half-dozen men kicked in the door of the house and confronted Scott, who began stabbing Arceneaux, police said.
What happened next is not clear, police said, but gunfire erupted and police that arrived at the scene found Scott dead from injuries sustained during the confrontation.
The woman's brother didn't apologize for his family's actions.
"We did what we had to do. We did not wait for authorities. We did it our own self," said Harold Carter, Arceneaux's older brother.
