38-year old Patrick Waddle of Schriever is being held on a four-million-dollar bond after a Saturday night shooting on Bull Run Road that left a woman dead, one man injured and a trooper wounded. Responding troopers were fired on as they arrived, and Waddle drove off wounding one.
Trooper Ross Brennan says Waddle eventually surrendered after fleeing into a wooded area. The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating the initial shooting that killed 51-year-old Lisa Eschete (Ah-schet). Waddle is charged with murder, attempted first-degree murder, and five counts of attempted first-degree murder for shooting at the troopers.
