State Police are investigating a fatal officer-involved shooting a week ago in Bossier City. The incident started with the suspect fleeing Haughton Police, who tried to stop the GMS pickup for outstanding warrants. The chase led to Bossier, and was joined by parish deputies. After crashing into several parked cars, the pickup then overturned on U.S. Highway 80, and the suspect got out with a gun, and was shot by Bossier deputies, Bossier City cops and Haughton P.D. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The gun proved to be an AR15-STYLE BB rifle. The matter is under investigation.
