LACOMBE, LA – A home invasion that occurred in early December resulted in a 4-year-old girl being shot and the four suspects being shot by the girl’s father, two of which died.

The incident occurred on December 8th at approximately 10:00 a.m., when officials say that four armed intruders forced their way into a home located along Palmer Drive.

While the targeting of the home by the suspects involved is still unclear, the father of the home had gotten into a gun battle with the armed intruders. His 4-year-old daughter was reportedly struck by a bullet in the crossfire.

During the altercation, reportedly all four of the suspects were shot by the homeowner.

According to officials, two of the suspects, identified as 21-year-old Justin Hill and 25-year-old Renard Causey Jr., died from the sustained gunshot wounds.

Whereas as the remaining two suspects, identified as 43-year-old Renard Causey Sr. and 22-year-old Jason LeBlanc, were transported to a local hospital and treated for their injuries.

Causey and LeBlanc were eventually released from the hospital and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Jail.

Both of the two remaining suspects have been charged with first-degree murder, seemingly stemming from the deaths of the other two suspects allegedly involved in the home invasion.

Additional charges of armed robbery and home invasion are expected to be later applied to Causey and LeBlanc.

As for the young girl injured during the fray, her family says that she’s expected to fully recover from her sustained injuries.

St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith commented on the response time by first responders in the matter, crediting said fast response in ensuring all suspects involved were tended to properly:

“While it is always tragic anytime there is a loss of life, I am pleased that due to the rapid response time of our deputies; all parties that were involved in this isolated incident have been accounted for.”

Police have not shared details on exactly how many shots were fired between the two parties. However, the homeowner who defended himself and his family is reportedly not facing any charges at this time.

This is an ongoing investigation.

We had three morons kick in the door of a convicted drug dealer who was been paroled and one of them ended up dead. When the police arrived, a wounded moron said of the drug dealer “He’s not allowed to have a gun”

With that many hits and that many fatalities, something tells me that Dad was probably using a long gun firing something measured in a gauge that starts with 1 and ends with 2.

“While it is always tragic anytime there is a loss of life”

F that. When a person picks up a gun and sets out to commit a crime, he has forfeited his right to breathe.

The unfortunate things are that the little girl was shot, and that two of the vermin survived.

Thankfully it wasn’t an abstained gunshot wound.

her family says that she’s expected to fully recover from her sustained injuries.

Is there a single journalist or editor any more than can handle the English language?

What we call Canadians

That's a dry wit! I had a friend from Rhode Island who used that very verbal code in communications with her sister. I assumed they had invented it.

Perp... 25-year-old Renard Causey Jr., died from the sustained gunshot wounds.


"Sustained" gunshot wounds? One hardly ever dies from "evaded" gunshot wounds.

Palmer Dr is at the end of Bell Park. There was a bar at the highway with all the usual signs telling you how bad it is. It’s right near what used to be called Dump Rd. And though they call it Orleans and Napoleon, they used to have some pretty spicy names before they were renamed to something not racist.
