Another person has died following an ATV crash at Muddy Bottoms in Webster Parish, and three others are injured.

CUT 12 (10) “collision”
This is the fourth fatality at the park since 2014, and Igo says riders know the risks when they attend these events.

6 children in Baton Rouge were arrested for allegedly shooting a 44-year-old man multiple times, by more than one child with a BB gun. Police say the victim had to be taken to a hospital with non life threatening injuries, in the act that appeared completely random. The juveniles were each booked on a count of aggravated second-degree battery and later released to their parents.
