Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Mancuso says two arrests have been made in connection to the case of a 7-year-old that was accidentally shot and injured at Moss Bluff Elementary on Monday. He says they charged the father and brother of the child who brought the loaded gun to school…:
CUT 26 (09) “in the house”
He says the child should have never had access to the gun which went off by mistake at school and struck the 7-year-old. 50-year-old Michael Dugas and 17-year-old Jake Dugas were charged with negligent injuring. The elder Dugas was also charged with improper supervision of a minor.
A measure that would penalize adults if they let a child who is 12 years old or younger handle a fully automatic weapon passed out of the House Criminal Justice Committee on a 7 to 6 vote. Shreveport Representative Barbara Norton says young children too small to operate these weapons:
Cut 7 (10) “that gun”
Adults would face fines if they violate the proposed law which was why some lawmakers opposed.
A measure that would prohibit public universities from having their name or images to market alcoholic beverages was voluntarily deferred in the House Education Committee. Shreveport Representative Cedric Glover filed this bill because he believes LSU and UL-Lafayette licensed “official” beers promote underage drinkings…:
Cut 9 (12) “get sick”
But others don’t like this bill because it helps the schools financially and higher ed is dealing with enough cuts.
