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.
25 years old and looks 55. Look at those bags under his eyes.
Um, do I need to say ... more range time?
It depends upon the weapon used. Assume for a moment that he only had a .380 pocket pistol. On the other hand, if he had an AR15, he needs practice.
Even a drug dealer has the natural right of self-defense against being murdered.
That doesn’t mean a drug dealer shouldn’t be prosecuted.
“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...”
Fortunately, the homeowner had a quicker response.
If it turns out they were flesh eating aliens, would he still be a hero?
Lets stick with what we know, OK? Hypotheticals are useless causes for useless discussions and will get you nowhere dude.......
Post of the day!!
Lol.
Dad “tended to” the suspects in a way I applaud!
Joe also said to shoot through the front door. The man is nuts, doesn't like doors (or walls as in the Mexican wall). Just let anyone come on in, but get rid of doors and walls.
I know I get all my important advice, especially medical, from has-been Hollywood bimbos/s
LOL!
“If it turns out that Dad is a drug dealer, is he still a hero?”
Since it turned out that an armed citizen stopped potential murder before law enforcement could respond would you call all the anti gunners very wrong, very anti-constitution shitheads?
They are building a lot on the main road 190 that is technically Lacombe’s main road...won’t be as rural as it once was...but heading to the lake will take quite awhile to change.
QT. On the other hand, if the weapon in question were a BMG .50, close-quarters being a severe detriment to accuracy of the weapon, would he deserve a free round at the tavern of his choice?
And probably in that popular load, 00 buck.
