Troopers are investigating after a deputy shot a suspect in Independence Thursday night.
"On May 8, 2025, at approximately 8:20 p.m., detectives with the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations were requested by the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office to investigate a deputy-involved shooting that occurred on Labruzza Lane near LA Hwy 40 in Independence," Trooper Marc Gremillion said in a news release.
He says one suspect was wounded.
"One suspect was shot and has been transported to a local hospital for treatment. No deputies were harmed during the incident."
Gremillion says it remains an active investigation.
"Additional details will be released as they become available."
State Police want anyone with information, photos, or videos related to this incident to contact LSP Detectives.
